Hello all, I have mounted an iso image on computer a and exported it via nfs to computer b on a lan where it appears as /mnt/disc1.iso. Both machines are RH8. On computer b, I can copy it from /mnt/disc1.iso to to /tmp/localcopy and if I then mount /tmp/localcopy.iso /mnt/dummy -o loop -- I can open up the individual files on computer b. Is there a way to read the files without first making the local copy on computer b? I would prefer to do it on computer b if possible. If (on computer b) I try to mount -vv -t iso9660 /mnt/disc1.iso /mnt/dummy -o loop I get a message: mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop1 mount: /mnt/disc1.iso: Permission denied mount: failed setting up loop device The permission on /mnt/disc1 is 644 and I am root. I don't know whether this is supposed to work or not. Can someone tell me? Thanks in advance..
