Useful for working with (VM) image files.

sudo bee install liburcu-0.12.2-0 multipath-tools-0.8.6-0

Needed by multipath-tools (kpartx).

[Description](https://liburcu.org/):

> liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This
> data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales
> linearly with the number of cores.

> This  tool,  derived  from util-linux' partx, reads partition tables on
> specified device and create device maps over  partitions  segments  detected.
> It  is called from hotplug upon device maps creation and deletion.

>        To mount all the partitions in a raw disk image:
>
>               kpartx -av disk.img
