Unable to mount iso - "line xxxx is too long, output will be truncated"
Attempting to mount a 14.1 iso under a 13.37 system running 2.6.37.6 kernel. This is a VMware virtual machine.
It immediately prints out multiple errors to the screen saying "line xxx is too long, output will be truncated" as below and fails to mount.
I've tried inserting the iso through VMware as though it were a physical disk, and also copying the iso to the VM and mounting the file. Same results with both methods.
Also it doesn't recognise the -o option if I try that:
> mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd
column: line 1 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 2 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 4 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 5 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 7 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 8 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 9 is too long, output will be truncated
It's a DVD iso. I tried different device names with the same results. I can auto mount it at boot with the following fstab entry but if I unmount it and then try to mount it again manually it fails:
If this is an ISO that is loaded into the VM (on the host), and not an ISO file located directly on the VM's filesystem (on the guest), you need to mount it as a normal disc.
When I try to mount the iso, it just spews out thousands of lines like this until I ctrl-c out of it:
column: line 1 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 2 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 4 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 5 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 7 is too long, output will be truncated
column: line 8 is too long, output will be truncated
I have tried the iso as a file on the guest and also mounted via VMware so it appears as a physical drive
Please post the command used to try and mount the ISO along with the output from that command. Also, what is the output of the command I posted earlier? And you still haven't told us where the ISO is. Is it on the host and being shared via the VM or is it a file on the guest OS?
