  • You fail to explain that this command only works for root.
  • thank you, had not dont that before.
  • unable to mount iso file using command mentioned above as each time there is a extracted directory made in test folder
  • it also works without "-t iso9660" (mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/test)... When I tried, your command doesn't work at all...
  • your iso image file system was another ;)
  • works fine, how would you unmount
  • umount /mnt/test
  • eh... it says "mount: mount point /mnt/[name] does not exist"
    wat do i do?
  • you need to create the mount point first, i.e. "mkdir /mnt/test"
  • lawrence@Inf1n1ty:~$ su
    Password:
    su: Authentication failure
    lawrence@Inf1n1ty:~$ sudo -i
    root@Inf1n1ty:~# mkdir -p /mnt/disk
    root@Inf1n1ty:~# mount -o loop BF1942_1.iso /mnt/disk
    BF1942_1.iso: No such file or directory
    root@Inf1n1ty:~#

    so when i log into root, cannot as it is locked, so use sudo to gain root privileges, Then when I go to mount the image it doesn't find it.
    Is there a certain location that I need to place the iso in question?
  • what is the path to BF1942_1.iso relative to your current directory?

    Should something like

    mkdir -p /mnt/disk
    mount -o loop /dev/USB/BF1942_1.iso /mnt/disk
    ... Make any sense?
