Mount ISO image in Linux
A loop device is a pseudo-device that makes a file accessible as a block device. Loop devices are often used for CD ISO images and floppy disc images. They appear in the mount point directory using following commands:
1. Copy or ftp the iso image to /tmp or any other directory
2. Login as root
3. Create the directory "disk1" under /mnt directory as shown below
# mkdir -p /mnt/disk1
4. Use mount command to mount "test1.iso" image to above directory:
#mount -o loop /tmp/test1.iso /mnt/disk1
5. Change directory to see files:
# cd /mnt/disk1
# ls
6. Unmount using "umount" after finishing your job:
# cd /
# umount /mnt/disk1
