Windows Daemontools like Linux GUI software or
How to mount ISO files in Linux and BSD
Ever wondered if Linux allows you to open ISO's with a nice graphic
interface like the famous Daemontools on Windows. Cause I did and I
found the software that enables you to do so:
First and most popular option especially for Gnome users is:
1.
Acetoneiso , it's
really famous between mainly Ubuntu users
2. KDE users might be interesting into
The kiso program 3.
Another program I found being used among Ubuntu users is called
gmountiso.
Still if you're mostly a console guy like I am and want to mount
your iso into some directory on Linux here is how:
# mkdir /mnt/disk
# mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk
Now your iso is mounted in /mnt/disk.
The way to mount an
iso file in FreeBSD is a bit
different.
Here is how to do it in FreeBSD:
# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/image.iso -u 1
# mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt/cdrom
Now your iso stays mounted in /mnt/cdrom
In case you'd like to unmount it, you need to execute:
# mount -u /mnt/cdrom
# mdconfig -d -u 1
On FreeBSD there is one more oddity:
For instance if you'd like to mount some Windows FAT filesystem you
need or alternatively an MSDOS file system, here is how:
# vnconfig /dev/vn0c ./image.iso
# mount -t msdos /dev/vn0c /cdrom
The last method to mount your iso is said to be compatible with all
type of filesystems, so you might be a good idea to use it
always
