How to mount iso file in /etc/fstab ?

If your CentOS iso file is in the root (/) of your filesystem, put a forward slash (/) in front of the iso entry.

Quote:

/centos.iso /mnt/iso iso9660 loop,ro,auto 0 0

Then use the mount command to check it.

thanks it mount the iso file by adding the entry into the /etc/fstab. One last thing which i want to discuss is when we manually mount the iso file

Code:

# mount -o loop centos.iso /mnt/iso

then how can i unmount it ? To unmount it i always reboot the system.Is there any way to unmount it ?

If I use

Code:

umount -o loop centos.iso /mnt/iso 
umount: invalid option -- o

How can I unmount it ?

thanks
