Linux measures up, and linux doesn't measure up, depending on who's using it

it doesn't "open like a folder," /mnt/test would = say "E:\" (or whatever your cd is on windows)

/ is just the start of your root partition, but if you look at your actual cdrom, the /cdrom(or whatever you have) is just a link to /mnt/cdrom, so there's not really a difference between /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/test, not anymore than there is between e:\(real cd drive) and f:\(daemon tools fake cd drive)

it doesnt because they have made a daemon tools lite for linux yet.
i "mounted an .iso and it opened like a folder not like a cd-rom. i am trying to like linux but it just does NOT measure up.

When you use sudo -i to turn into root, it changes your current directory to root's home directory, /root, so you're no longer in your old directory where you can access the file with the relative path you were using before.

mount: only root can do that

Your recipe seems like not working. I have given the command:-

mount -o loop -t iso9660 rld-dmc4.iso /media/Entertainment/Game/Devil\ May\ Cry\ 4\ Image/

And I got the o/p:-

rld-dmc4.iso: No such file or directory

lawrence - you arent specifying a path for your BF1942_1.iso file.
try
mkdir /mnt/foo
mount -o loop /dir/path/filename.iso /mnt/foo
that should do the trick

michael — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 14:22:06 -0000

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?

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?

you need to create the mount point first, i.e. "mkdir /mnt/test"

your iso image file system was another ;)

miezebieze — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:18:28 -0000

it also works without "-t iso9660" (mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/test)... When I tried, your command doesn't work at all...

You fail to explain that this command only works for root.
