General Support - mount iso image as user vilde - 05.10.2006, 20:19 Uhr Titel: mount iso image as user
For a long time ago I was advised to do a virtual cd or dvd with the command
mount -o loop some.iso /some/mount/point
This is only aloud to do as root, can this be changed so I can do it as user?

hey
well mount is a command that only root should be able to use...
if u want users to be able to do that, u could install sudo and use it for that user (sudo would allow that user to do ANY root function)....OR u could add the iso image to your FSTAB(/etc/fstab) file...in the options colum, u can put-- users,no auto--which wont mount it automatically and will allow your users to mount it.
man fstab
or goole fstab, sudo to get more info
later

pmount can be done as user. I haven't tested if for ISO images though.
vilde - 08.10.2006, 18:04 Uhr Titel:
ok thanks
What I would like is to have an easy way to mount a video iso or img to view it with xine and because the image file will be different every time the option to edit FSTAB is no way of doing it.

xine can play iso vid's directly ... no need to mount it first.

I also need to be able to "unpack" the iso to my mediaplayer with FAT filesystem, the iso is to big to FAT, I need to get it down to the the video ts format, with the vob files

You use it wrong:
Works with vlc and other players too. If it is a bin file, just use vlc directly on it.

If you refer to me that I use it wrong then I don't know really.
I have an external hardware mediaplayer which can play iso or direct from a map with extracted video ts files. To be able to use it, load it with films, easily from linux I have formated the mediaplayer to FAT (the mediaplyer can only handle windows filesystems) therefore I can't use the images they are to big for FAT so I need to unpack the imagefiles some way, and therefore one way are to mount them and then copy the files, maybe there are other ways to unpack these images. (.iso or .img)

Then use mc or krusader to extract em. Both tools can do that in user mode.
vilde - 09.10.2006, 22:37 Uhr Titel:
Krusader works very good, thanks Kano
There are so many applications to try in the distribution so it's not easy to know everyone of them.
This takes me to the next problem which no one have answered yet:

Aternatively you could also use the fuseiso command to mount the iso as a user if you are in the fuse group (doesn't seem like you need this but maybe it might be useful to others).
vilde - 10.10.2006, 14:46 Uhr Titel:
It looks like Krusader can't open the .img images so I tried fuseiso and that works very well.
mc I havn't tried, is mc the old console midnight comander or? Then it's to complikated to use I think.
Kano - 10.10.2006, 17:58 Uhr Titel:
Yes it is a bit old, but works well, just press Enter on an iso image.
vilde - 10.10.2006, 20:55 Uhr Titel:
How do I unmount after mounted with fuseiso?
Kano - 10.10.2006, 21:36 Uhr Titel:
fusermount -u mountpoint
vilde - 10.10.2006, 21:46 Uhr Titel:
This worked fine also with an .img file
