Hello,
I'm having an odd problem trying to mount some Ubuntu iso images using the loopback device. On a Kubuntu 7.04 system, I can mount CD iso images no problems, but can't mount DVD iso images.
I can mount the CD images no problems:
Code:
# mount -o loop kubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso /media/loop/
# mount | grep kubuntu
# /tmp/kubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso on /media/loop type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0)
I then umount CD the image and try mounting the DVD image. But when I try to mount the DVD image, it fails with an error:
Code:
# mount -o loop kubuntu-6.10-dvd-i386.iso /media/loop/
mount: Not a directory
If I try mounting the DVD using the -v (verbose) option, this is the output I get:
Code:
# mount -o loop -v kubuntu-6.10-dvd-i386.iso /media/loop/
mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop0
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/loop0
I will try type iso9660
mount: Not a directory
Does anyone have any idea why I can mount a CD but not a DVD?
Many thanks.
H.
