Fsck on fs-in-file

Support and Help

I have a filesystem in a file (data.4fs). I would like to run (need to run!) fsck on it but cannot work out how.

I can mount the file manually by creating a directory as a mount mount and then mounting it to there. But when mounted, I can’t run fsck. When unmounted, if I type

fsck data.4fs

I get the standard usage message.

How can I pass the filesystem to fsck in a way it understands?
