Mounting ISO images in Linux

By vesscsm

Mounting

To mount the ISO images, you’ll need to have root access. Login as root or use sudo, and execute:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop,user image.iso /wheretomount

Drop ,user if you don’t want users to access the iso files.

Hint: You can use cdemu to mount BIN images. You can also use bin2iso to convert them to ISO.

Hint 2: You can use mdf2iso to convert MDF/MDS files to ISO. Or you can mount a .mdf file with:

mount image.mdf /wheretomount -o loop=/dev/loop0

Hint 3: You can use nrg2iso to convert Nero’s .nrg files to ISO. Or you can mount a .nrg file with:

mount -o loop,offset=307200 image.nrg /wheretomount

Hint 4: You can use ccd2iso to convert Clone CD’s .img files to ISO.
