Hi

I have a bunch of ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem files sitting around in my /tmp directory.

[root@localhost tmp]# ls -l CDrec-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 686620672 Jun 29 12:38 CDrec-29.06.2004_1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 110919680 Jun 29 12:42 CDrec-29.06.2004_2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 686161920 Jun 30 08:19 CDrec-30.06.2004_1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 686620672 Jun 30 08:43 CDrec-30.06.2004_2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 207388672 Jun 30 08:53 CDrec-30.06.2004_3

I want to be able to see what files are in them before I write them to a CD with cdrecord.

Do I need to mount them? If so how do I do that with out burning a CD?

Thanks

use the loop device to mount them, I'm not sure but maybe it was something like

mount -t iso /dev/loop1 /tmp/CDrec-29.06.2004_1
mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/cdrom

or maybe it was

mount -t iso /tmp/CDrec-29.06.2004_1 /mnt/cdrom

one of them might work i think?

Thanks! I needed to do the loop thing ...

[root@localhost tmp]# mount /tmp/CDrec-30.06.2004_1 /mnt/cdrom
mount: /tmp/CDrec-30.06.2004_1 is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
[root@localhost tmp]# mount -o loop /tmp/CDrec-30.06.2004_1 /mnt/cdrom
[root@localhost tmp]# ls -l /mnt/cdrom/
