Cannot mount the block device where the image located

Since vdiskchain support the images with full allocated images in this case it's fully secured to able to mount the same device where the image located.

E.g, on the /dev/sda5 (ntfs) under the root I have /Manjaro.vdi.vtoy After run the system from this virtual disk I cannot mount to it /dev/sda5

Maybe it's better to move to vdiskboot, but I'm not sure, so let's discuss it here =)

It's the limitation of the linux kernel. Ventoy create a device mapper device based on the locatition of the image file in the partition(e.g. /dev/sda5). Once you create a device mapper device on /dev/sda5, then /dev/sda5 can not be mounted anymore.
