 Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2004 8:15 am Post subject: iso mount, sooo difficult. |
 |
|
OK, this problem has been bugging the hell out of me for weeks.
I would like to mount an iso file.
| Code: |
ess iso # mount -o loop -t iso9660 foo.iso /mnt/iso
mount: Not a directory
ess iso #
ess iso # ls -al /mnt/iso
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 17 18:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Jul 17 17:26 ..
|
Anyone help, I am really stuck.
I am root, the iso and the mount point exist.
The iso is valid (I tried with several).
Loopback IS enabled in the kernel. |

pay attention to the arguments positions.

hmmm, maybe a bit quick to congratulate.
Works with a small ISO.
Doesn't work with a huge one, 3 gig+.
wierd. plenty of disk space available.
"mount: Not a directory" is the error. |

are you sure you have the directory made that you are mounting to? i.e. does /mnt/iso/ exist?
edit: it also could be a filesystem problem, is it a dvd iso you are trying to mount? You might want to check your kernel config to make sure you have all the filesystems compiled in that you need. |

glad I could help you with the first issue.
the second one
| Quote: | mount: ... : Not a directory
The local path is not a directory. Check the spelling in your command, and run ls to check if local path is a directory or not. |
| Quote: | mountpoint: Not a directory
The mountpoint exists but it is not a directory. Check the spelling and pathname of the mount point. |
also post the exact command that gave you the error

i used exactly the command u specifed. two ISOs mount and two dont. The top two mount ok.
Am I encountering the 2 gig limit on file sizes?
| Code: |
rupert@ess iso $ ls -al *
-rw-r--r-- 1 rupert users 558200832 Aug 21 03:53 linspire-full-4.5.439.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 rupert users 1527808 Jul 19 21:27 ps2.exe.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 rupert users 3409313792 Aug 8 12:57 r-corefbb.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 rupert users 2426994688 Aug 5 08:54 wam-rsba.iso
rupert@ess iso $
rupert@ess iso $
rupert@ess iso $ file *
linspire-full-4.5.439.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Linspire ' (bootable)

looked everywhere for a 2 gig limitation but couldn't find any! 
The only thing I can think of now is to use losetup( to mount the file as /dev/loopX and then mounting /dev/loopX to /mnt/iso .
try it.

just to make sure: the dir where you keep your iso images isnt the /mnt/iso?
if it isnt, excuse my question. .... just to make sure
try passing -t udf as filesystem to mount... |

i dunno!
it did something.
| Code: |
ess iso # losetup /dev/loop
loop loop0 loop1 loop2 loop3 loop4 loop5 loop6 loop7
ess iso # losetup /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: [0303]:1065193 (r-corefbb.iso)
ess iso # mount /dev/loop0 -o loop -t iso9660 /mnt/iso/
mount: Not a directory
ess iso # mount /dev/loop0 -o loop -t udf /mnt/iso/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
ess iso #

Just an idea, but those large .iso files you're trying to mount as iso9660, probably arent really using the iso9660 format, wouldn't you think?
Consider what they're for, and then you'll understand why its not working. |

I doubt `file` will be giving faulty information, don't you think!
@bingobob
I created two big files yesterday, one that is 3.3 GB and the other 6.7 GB, I formatted them in reiserfs and they mounted succefully without even a warning!
please give us the full path to the iso images and the full path of the mount point, maybe this is the problem.

DVDs and xbox game images aren't isos, since they aren't ISO9660 filesystems. DVDs use UFS (Universal File System).
| Code: |
# mount -o loop -t ufs ./image.ufs /mnt/dvd

None of that did it for me.
I hacked around with it for ages but got no-where mounting them.
In the end this did it for me....

emerge -s xiso

you can also try mounting it under antoher kernel.
From past exprience, I can say mm-sources, ck, love and nitro all have problems mounting a DVD iso I have.
Using the standard gentoo-dev-sources, it works great. I don't get any errors though, linux just crashes if I mount it

| Code: | | #mount -o loop RoryII.iso /mnt/iso |
works here, I dont even need to give it -t iso9660 , though i dont see why not!
If is use -t it can be before or after the -o , the order has to be, as it says in mount --help:
mount something somewhere.

Ummm,
Guys where do I check if my loop device isn't working. it doesn't exist in the /dev directory? The thing is I was able to successfully mount iso files about a week ago.
Thanks,
Zoran |

Yep you are right. I might have been mounting iso's while I was in 2.4 kernel cause I recently switched.
BTW any other modules I should enable while I am at it? (that is related to the loopback or other mounting utilities)
Thanks,
Zoran
