At first i'd like to apologize for my really bad english.
As in the title, is possible to mount the image of a partition made with clonezilla?
i found 2 useful commands that should work, but i can't get the working.
cat /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/hda1.ntfs-img.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone -restore-image -o hda1.img -
And
cat YOURIMAGE/hda2.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.* |gzip -d -c | partclone.restore -C -s - -o hda2.img
Can someone please help me?
Thank u!

Thanks for using Clonezilla and your question. Unfortunately, the image file format cannot be mounted directly at this time. The preferred work around is to use VirtualBox and restore the image to a virtual drive.
I hope this helps!

Thanks! I hope it works for you, I've had success with it. Also, if you use dynamic disk allocation, the restored image uses no more space than the data and Clonezilla won't complain.
As for adding the feature, it's come up a number of times. Correct me if I'm worong, but as I understand things, images can be made of more than one format of data or at least can be one of several formats. Plus, I believe at least one of these formats compacts data in such a way that it would be necessary to expand the entire image before being able to read it. That would take a lot of disk space, time and/or RAM, it's probably easier to just use virtualization with all that effort!
