mounting iso files on linux

minm · 12-10-2004, 04:16 PM

k, the exact error is:

user379:/mnt # umount /mnt/iso
umount: /mnt/iso: device is busy
umount: /mnt/iso: device is busy

Try to run

Code:

lsof +D /mnt/iso

to see what programs are holding your '/mnt/iso' and it's subdirs. Maybe their closing would help.

Alright, cool i do that, i unmount it, mount the second cd, but the program won't recognize it... Would you know how to work around that?

Well, it depends on the program, I personally haven't met such situations as yours.

ok, thanks for your help!

Im not that good at this, but can it be as easy as to have 2 mount points and mount both isos simultaneously?

minm · 12-10-2004, 07:18 PM

but i think the installation program will be looking at the same mount point...

ok, im just thinking out of a windows pov

minm · 12-11-2004, 02:57 PM

but to answer your question, you can have more than one mount point of course

hmm...i can't seem to use the -t iso9960 option. It says that the filesystem isn't supported by the kernel. Anyone know how to make it supported? Also, can *.img files or *.bin (with *.cue files) be mounted in addition to *.iso's? (sorry if it's a stupid question...just started using linux recently)

You should compile it's support in kernel or compile it as a module and insert it in running kernel

Okay, I'll try that, thank you for your help (sorry for delayed response).
