cd .bin images
 

what is an easy way of mounting bin images to access the data stored on them.

I have a few bin images that I created ages ago on windows using nero or easy cd or some other program that i wasnt to access on linux?

do i use the loopback for mounting them or is there another way?

no, the loopback will do it you need root privalges though
$ su
passwaord
#mount /dierctory/filename.bin -o loop /mount directory

this is whatI use seems to work well.

There MountISO which will allow you to mount them via a right-click. Not sure if this works outside KDE though.

mount -o loop wuf-saw2b.bin /mnt/
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
root@engraver:/home/ronan/dvd/Saw.2.TS.SVCD-WUF# mount -o loop -t iso9660 wuf-saw2b.bin /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

dont think it can read it?

R

If it is a audio cd image, there is no filesystem into it, so you can't mount it

There is surelly OSS tools that can deal with this, maybe cdparanoia

You're mounting to /mnt rather than a directory created in /mnt. While that might work, /mnt usually has some default directories created in it, and i think that mount will object if the file system mount point (i.e., directory) is not empty.

Try creating (as root) a director in /mnt to us as you mount point. For example, and using it:

no same result...
unable to identify cdrom format...

Its a standard bin cd image... i though this was a regular type format.
D-tools can mount these in windows no problem..
there must be some way for linux to mount them on CL...

??
EDIT

its an SVCD cdrom... CDemu is the solution it would appea

/EDIT

There are a couple of programs available for converting BIN images to ISO images. (bin2iso comes to mind.) I've never used them, but you might like to try one or another. I suspect that the "-t iso9960" type is looking for an ISO format.
