Mounting a snapshot of a file system

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hi all,

I believe that this might be possible..

I have created a snapshot of a filesystem and moved it to a remote host:

dump -L0af - / | ssh remote_host 'gzip > snapshot.gz'

Now I have the file snapshot.gz on the remote host.

Two questions:

1. How can I mount this snapshot and access its contents?
2. How can I use this snapshot to create another system (a clone)?

Thank you for today ;)
