remounting nfs dir on loop device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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..

John
