Is there any option that i have to add to mount that ISO via Virtual machine |
Hi Shafey,
I might be confused here, you have a compressed archive (CPIO) that contains an image (ISO) and you want to mount the compressed file on a virtual node as an ISO image (with the VMs cdrom, I'm assuming)? A couple of general things you might find helpful: Whenever you burn something to CDROM it's converted into an ISO image during that process. Take an iso image -> ISO format Compress it in a CPIO archive -> ISO converted to CPIO format Burn it to a CD/DVD -> CPIO format converted to ISO format Jam it in the virtual machines cdrom drive -> Works since it's in ISO format. If you don't burn it, it remains in it's last format unless you convert the file format with a utility Take an ISO image -> ISO format Compress it in a CPIO archive -> ISO converted to CPIO format Jam it in the virtual machines cdrom drive -> Fails, since it's not in ISO format. |
