Mounting file system created by Wubi in other Linux distros

I wasn’t aware of this tiny little thing  – the filesystem in the  file created by a Wubi install can be easily mounted as a loop device.

To do so, just open the Terminal and type the below:

mount -o loop

This will make the kernel auto detect the filesystem type and try to mount it. Alternatively, if you’re sure of the filesystem type, mention it explicitly

mount -t  -o loop

Would come in very handy if someone were to migrate from Wubi install to a full install, just copy over the /home files and all files saved.
