mounting ext3 image inside VE [message #45130]

Hi,

My previous VPS provider had serious problems and provided me with a disk image of my VPS.

root@matterhorn:/home/ftp# file matterhorn.img 
matterhorn.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data, UUID=7ebbdfe5-45d7-4d9f-bfd3-d31b8ad02c27 (needs journal recovery) (large files)

I've transfered the image to my new VPS provider. It would be great if I could mount this image inside the VE to recover some files. Is this something my provider can arrange or is this impossible with OpenVZ?

root@matterhorn:/home/ftp# losetup /dev/loop0 matterhorn.img 
/dev/loop0: Operation not permitted
root@matterhorn:/home/ftp# sysctl -a | grep kthread
error: permission denied on key 'vm.compact_memory'
error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.route.flush'
error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.route.flush'
kernel.ve_allow_kthreads = 1
error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv6.route.flush'
