[SOLVED] 'fuseiso -p' is creating mount point with root privileges

igadoter · 03-23-2017, 01:57 PM

I did this

Code:

$ fuseiso -p foo.iso ./foo

this creates ./foo as mounting point for image foo.iso. But I was surprised when it appeared that ./foo mountpoint has root privileges, thus image cannot be now unmounted by non-root user. Why such strange behaviour? What's wrong?

Sorry for bothering, this is the trick

Code:

$ fusermount -u ./foo

Use "fusermount -u ./foo" to unmount as regular user, as stated in /usr/doc/fuseiso-20070708/README (if you used a SlackBuild from SBo to make a fuseiso package).

I just checked, it works.

Thank for response I figured this out myself it is in README file in source tarball for fuseiso, but I am disappointed thou because in contrary to description 'fuseiso' does not mounts .mdf images. I am just using convertor 'mdf2iso'. I started to think maybe there is a way to use code from mdf2iso and merge this with fuseiso to create my own module able to mount .mdf images. Mhm?

Sorry, no clue. I have never used a .mdf image myself and do not know if that would be feasible or worthwile.

Maybe cdemu or wincdemu can read these, it supports lots of formats.
I've seen it mount MDS and NRG images about 10 years ago, but all I have now is standard ISO so I personally don't use it.
