OK, here's how you do it on Linux: # mount -o loop -t iso9660 <ISO filename> <mount destination> eg.: # mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/steven/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso /var/ftp/pub/freebsd-5.4/ Apparently, however this doesn't work on FreeBSD. AFAIK, this should work: # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f <ISO filename> -u 0 # mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 <mount destination> eg.: # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /home/steven/5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso -u 0 # mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /var/ftp/pub/freebsd-5.4/ Regards, -- Can Berk Guder Sabanci University Istanbul, Turkey Quoting Steven Friedrich <FreeBSD@InsightBB.com>: > I believe I read a posting over a year ago, that stated that you could mount > > an ISO file directly with mount. > > I searched the archives but couldn't find it. > I searched the FAQ and handbook as well. > > I do see a section in the handbook about doing it with vn, but I want to know > > if it's possible with mount alone. > > -- > i386 FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE > There are 10 types of people in this world.
