→Bind ploop to image file: use parted not fdisk
Since this point, <code>/dev/ploop0</code> is operable. One can read/write any data from/to
it (e.g. with "dd"), manipulate partition table on it (with "fdisk"<code>parted</code>, since ploop uses GUID Partition Table, or GPT), formatit with <code>mkfs.ext4</code> and mount it on some mount-point. In the other words, since
now <code>/dev/ploop0</code> can be used as any other ordinary block device.
