Mounting iso file

[exawall]

Dear all

I have fenced one problem in mounting iso image.

I will mount iso file but this is only read only file so i am not editing in iso image.
mount command is below
mount -o loop isofile.iso /mnt/ (isofile is my iso and /mnt is mount point)

Please anybody help me how to mount iso image on read/write mode.

Hi,

You can't mount an ISO read/write. Your best bet is to copy the contents of the mounted ISO directory to a new directory, then make an ISO image of that dir, e.g.:

# mount ISO image
mount -o loop /tmp/image.iso /mnt/iso

# copy dir
mkdir /mnt/iso2
cp -a /mnt/iso /mnt/iso2

# make the new iso image
mkisofs -o /tmp/new-image.iso  /mnt/iso2

read up on mkisofs to see the many, many options you can pass to it.

Its not possible to edit mounted .iso image. Extract .iso image, edit its contents and create .iso image again.
