Mount .iso images in gui - PC-BSD Forums

Vermilion · #1 04-11-2012, 09:53 AM

Is there a gui app for mounting iso images such as Furius iso mount? If not what are the correct commands for mounting and unmounting a iso image in command line for PC-BSD 9.0?

Thanks 4 Help

I'm not aware of a way of mounting ISOs via GUI, but maybe there is a kioslave for KDE.
However in the terminal something like the following should suffice to mount the iso:

Code:

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/image.iso -u 99
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md99 /mnt/cdrom

and to umount and destroy the memory disk

Code:

mount -u /mnt/cdrom
mdconfig -d -u 99

But having a look at the mdconfig man page you can also do something like:

Code:

mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -f  /path/to/image.iso` /mnt/cdrom

Never tried it...
