mount /dev/loop0p3 /mnt/loop/

mount: /mnt/loop: cannot mount /dev/loop0p3 read-only.

mount -o loop,ro,norecovery /dev/loop0p3 /mnt/loop/

and that should be it. After you're done:

umount /mnt/loop
proxmox-backup-client unmap /dev/loop0

 

TBD: explain how t o use kpartx and friends to acces LVM volumes
