After associating a disk image with the dev/loop0 device I can't mount the file system in /dev/loop0p1
root@reading2 Documents]# fdisk -l /dev/loop0
Disk /dev/loop0: 31.9 GB, 31914983424 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3880 cylinders, total 62333952 sectors

[root@reading2 Documents]# ls -l /mnt
total 0
[root@reading2 Documents]# mount -t vfat /dev/loop1 /mnt
mount: block device /dev/loop1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/loop1: can't read superblock
[root@reading2 Documents]#
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
You have a typo in your mount
command.
You mounted a disk image to a loopback device at /dev/loop0
, and its partition then became /dev/loop0p1
.
Therefore, to mount it, you would use something like:
mount -o ro -t vfat /dev/loop0p1 /mnt
However, you typed in /dev/loop1
in the mount
command instead.
