General :: How To Mount Compressed ISO Image
May 10, 2010
I have problem to mount a compressed (ISZ) image under Linux, which was created by e.g. UltraISO? I am aware about user-space fuseiso, but it fails to mount these images, as I have reported in Debian bugtracker (correct me if I ddi something wrong). I ask the community for a help: I need a proved solution to mount these images without decompressing them.I believe that CONFIG_ZISOFS kernel option cannot help, as it refers a special RockRidge extension (per-file compression with mkisofs -z or mkzftree).

On a Linux CD/DVD, there are compressed filesystem images for the live version for KDE or Gnome for example, but they have no extension, but they are clearly an image file ( compressed filesystem images for the live version before installation ) !!
I was wondering, How do I mount these compressed filesystem images, after I copy the ISO content of the CD/DVD on my system .... I want to edit some files or packages and make some changes, like if I want to customize a live version of gnome for example ! ... ( I know you might be tempted to tell me to use KIWI etc to customize etc ..... ) ... but I want to be able to mount the compressed file system image, then edit it for reading and writing while it is in a subdirectory on its own ... i want to open it ! ... is there a way to do this ??? ... these type of files have no extension ...
i can open this compressed filesystem image then to edit for read & write ... before I roll it back again ..... If and when I succeed .... what should I watch out for ? ... will the same compressed file image but slightly modified work again ?
PS. that same question could be kind of translated or be extended like : how do I use unionfs/squashfs programs on the command line to mount these image files with no extension for read & write mode ???

I want to create a compressed ISO image file and mount that file to one of the virtual drives and access the content (read-only) without worrying about manual decompression/extraction.For Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) OSes.

I was given a forensic Image which I now know is a DD image of the drive (Vista) and am trying to mount the image or extract the image to another drive. I'm not sure of the extention type or if the image is a partition or the entire drive. I think it is the entire drive.
Is it possible to mount a DD image to a device. If I can't do that I just want to extract the files to run some programs against the drive. Can I view the files under Ubuntu or do I have to remove the drive and stick it into a Vista computer.
I purchased a second drive today and was hoping the command line would be something simple.
Or am I on the wrong track, should I be doing this all in a windows environment. The reason I picked ubuntu was because of the reporting tools.

I have an image of the entire disk created using dd. The disk structure follows:
The image was created using:
How would I, if it is possible, mount /dev/sda1 from the image so that I'm able to read the contents?
It's not an option to clone the HDD again, I know how to do it if I had only cloned the single partition by itself. I hope it's still possible with the current image.

I have a large qcow2 formatted disk image, which I use as storage. Often I need to move data to and from this disk image. I mount the disk using the qemu-nbd tool as follows:
modprobe nbd max_part=63
qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 /host/disk100G.img
mount /dev/nbd0p1 /home/rup/disk
But disk access fails every now and then in the midst of some I/O operation with an "Input/output error". At that point I have to manually unmount the disk and re-mount it so that I can run the program again:qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0umount joborkhaki/What could be the reason for this? Is there a better tool that I can use to maintain a qcow2 disk image?

I have a dd image of a full drive (as a file) that was using Truecrypt system encryption under windows. I want to mount the main partition from that image using Linux's Truecrypt. I am familiar with dd loopback devices and have the partition offset, but I don't know how I can mount it like this because I need to use the truecrypt command.
Is there perhaps some way to create a fake device file for the disk image that I can mount from within Truecrypt?

I am having a rather strange issue. I have windows 98 installed into a disk image that I use bochs to boot it with. I want to transfer some files to the image but now I am unable to mount it. I will attach the drive to the loopback device but when I go to mount I get wrong fs type bad option ... etc.
The command I used to mount was
Code:
#mount -t vfat /dev/loop0 /media/loopdisk
cfdisk shows it ok as does fdisk. shows as a fat16 file system. When I attempt to check it for errors using fsck.msdos I get
Code:
# dosfsck 3.0.6 04 Oct 2009, FAT32, LFN
# Logical sector size (64543) is not a multiple of the physical sector size.
When I boot into windows 98 in bochs and check the disk it tells me there is no problems.

I mount a few locations from a VMware virtual machine, but currently every time I start up VMware I need to re-mount the locations once the VMware image has started up fully, which gets tedious. I'd like to be able to mount them automatically when VMware is started.
I generally double-click the .VMX file (which is associated with VMware Player) to launch the virtual machine, but once it has finished loading I would need to run the mount commands manually or execute a bash script that does it.
Is there any way you can think of to have it done automatically? One way I can think of is to start my virtual machine by running a script that starts VMware player, sleeps for a minute or so, then runs the mount command - but setting the right sleep interval would be difficult because this varies a fair bit - and overall, it's a solution that's kinda icky and that I'd like to avoid if there's some better option.

think of this directory as the current structure..
Quote:
|-- test
| `-- test1
`-- test.tar
test.tar is a compressed tar of /test/ (cvfz), now... I need to add another file called test2 to test.tar, WITHIN the test directory in the tar. Is this possible?

I'm trying to figure out how to access compressed files without uncompressing them beforehand, and also without modifying the application/script I am using. Named pipes do the trick, but only seem to work once
In one terminal I do this:
Code:
$ echo "This is a file I'd like to be able to read." >> my_file
$ gzip my_file
$ mkfifo my_named_pipe
$ ls
my_file.gz my_named_pipe
$ gunzip -c my_file.gz >> my_named_pipe

I am trying to mount a file image, like this
mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps
But I get the following:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
I try ext3:
mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps -t ext3
dmesg says:
error: can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop6.
I've also tried ext2, vfat etc. How can I detect the filesystem type of apps.img?

Here's my problem: While choosing to compress certain folders from within Windows 7, I marked the boot manager as 'compressed'. Now, when I try to boot, I'm not able to boot into Windows 7, or any other OS (I get an error: bootmgr is compressed, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to continue, which restarts the system and the same cycle continues.
I have a Windows 7 + open SUSE + Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wubi install boot setup. To complicate things, its a laptop, and the DVD drive is conked. Is there any way I can boot into any of my OS's? If not using a live boot, can I, perhaps make a bootable USB flash drive, boot into it and uncompress the boot manager ? Note: I'm typing this from another desktop, and I do not have Windows installed on this.
/ed:
Used this: [URL]..questions/137877/decompressing-files-on-an-ntfs-volume-from-linux/137906#137906 Still no go, getting the same error message.

We are having a lot of trouble with this.
We need a command line version of Linux like ttylinux. Any command line will do with the latest kernel. It should be around 50 megs.
But the problem is, all these small Linux versions are LiveCD or have a compressed file system.
We need a SMALL linux distro, that we can install UNCOMPRESSED (no squashfs etc) on a hard disk.
This is so simple I'm sure I'm missing something..

I've got an image file that I made with DDrescue.I installed Sleuth Kit and when I type: mmls /mnt/drive/file .it says "cannot determine partition type".I imaged a different drive and tried to use the same command line and got the same results.I'm not familiar with working with image files too much,.I would like to mount the NTFS partition within the image file.

I have installed numerous Linuxes and Fedoras. This is the 3rd F13 install - other 2 were no problem! This one has me stumped. I have tried dvd install, boot.iso on usbkey, netinstall on usb and dvd. This problem crops up each time! I always manage to get the disks reformated and partitioned but no further. If I go to screen F2, everything seems to check ok - the usb is mounted and visible. The partitions are mounted under sysimage, a loop device is mounted under runtime (cant determine what though).
All the boots result in "Select Partition" - looking for install.img. With dvd does not list dvd drive as an option. With usb - firstly search sda1 (no usb option appears initially), fails then show the usb drive! and it finds the install img! All strange. Logs all show that all devices are recognized and mounted (or mountable) and viewable. sysimages are all writable! (can copy files between etc )..
Anaconda last message was "transferring install image to install target". What is transferred and where should it be? What needs to be mounted can it be done manually from screenF2?? Is it possible to get more info out of anaconda?? Is there some way of bypassing that "tried " message as the only way out is a reboot!! I am getting desperate - I need this machine working for a field job very soon.
