Description
Description
Hello.
Will you provide support for mounting block device partitions?
For example:
--mount type=ext4,src=/dev/loop10000,dst=/home
Is there a reason why it's never been supported?
Thank you.

Research direction
The issue names the --mount syntax and a block-device example but no files or tests. Start by reviewing the current volume and mount documentation and the existing handling of type, src, and dst; done should clearly document whether block-device partitions are supported and what behavior is expected.
