Mounting ISO files in Ubuntu

Article Title: mounting ISO files in Ubuntu. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

An ISO image is a cd or DVD image file that can be stored on your computer and written into a new cd. It is very easy to mount and use it in UBUNTU.

User Guide

In linux, the default ISO mount point is located in the "/media" directory. The following describes how to mount an ISO file:

Sudo mkdir/media/cdimage # create a folder as an ISO mount point

Sudo mount-o loop myfile. iso/media/cdimage # mount the ISO file and use the-o loop parameter.

Replace myfile. iso with the iso file you want to mount.

Mount an image file to make it writable. Run the following command:

Sudo mkdir/media/cdimage

Sudo mount-o rw, loop myfile. iso/media/cdimage

Detach an image file:

Sudo umount/media/cdimage

Rmdir/media/cdimage
