[opensuse] Problem mounting an iso file
Hi I use to be able to mount and iso file under previous OpenSuse version (11.3). Currently using version 12.1. I tried to mount the iso file with the following: mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mtn/isoimage where /mnt/isoimage was created with: mkdir -p /mnt/isoimage. System responds with: mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.) I tried 'modprobe loop' resulting in the following: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.1.10-1.19-desktop/modules.dep: No such file or directory Could someone please give me an idea of how to solve this problem?

mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/isoimage You shouldn't need to do the -t However, using KDE4 on OS 12.3, you can just use Dolphin, and click the ISO and tell it to use ark to open it or select Browse the ISO, without having to mount it. Unless you had a specific reason to need it mounted. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the reply. I can open it using Dolphin as you suggested. However when is issue the command: mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/isoimage I still get the following: mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.) I would still like to know what is wrong with my system where I cannot mount the loop device.

Oddly, I have no loop device in 12.3 either. l /dev/l* shows something called /loop-control . My older machines show /dev/loop0 thru loop7 This shows often I've needed to use this! ;-) I'm pretty sure it was there in 11.4. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, the 'loop' module isn't loaded until it is needed.
Indeed, something of the above does happen. As root I loop mounted an iso from disk to an existing directory and the following appears:

and they persist after umounting the iso, possibly until the next reboot.

The "loop" module does not load magically like others ..and no.. systemd does nothing with the loop device except getting notified about where you have mounted the image in the filesystem so it can be umount'ed at shutdown. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The releases I've been happiest with, in decreasing order: 11.2 11.0 10.2 10.0 11.4 After all the time I've spent with the three newer than 11.4 releases, in spite of its position in the list, I sure am glad 11.4 went Evergreen, thus keeping me from needing to "up" grade to anything newer. YaST has been rather crippled since systemd usurped sysvinit. It's supposedly being rewritten in Ruby for 13.1. I'm not going to hold my breath expecting it will actually be done that soon. Between it and other post-11.4 "improvements" it likely means I'll be staying with 11.4 until 13.2's planned GA in July 2014.

Yes, loop.ko sems to be missing, which is pretty odd.

That might only confirm the suspicion. I think the root cause is that the installed kernel is not installed properly. This can only be remedied by re-installing it or install a different one. -- Bye, Stephan Barth SUSE MaintenanceSecurity - SUSE LINUX GmbH GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Your kernel appears to be 3.1.10-1.19-desktop (judging by your first post), but your modules are for 3.1.10-1.29-desktop.

I believe you obtained kernel info from my signature line but that is hard wired and incorrect. the kernel in /boot is lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jun 16 16:21 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-3.1.10-1.29-desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4958272 Jun 7 05:06 vmlinuz-3.1.10-1.29-desktop which matches the modules.

It wasn't signature, but the line posted in a message body.
the kernel in /boot is lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jun 16 16:21 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-3.1.10-1.29-desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4958272 Jun 7 05:06 vmlinuz-3.1.10-1.29-desktop which matches the modules. Sorry for the false information. I'm correcting the signature.
Now that you have 3.1.10-1.29-desktop and line in initial post tells it is 3.1.10-1.19-desktop, it seems that you updated kernel. Check: uname -r to see what kernel is running. It must match installed kernel. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

OK, you provided a clue to what went wrong, Thanks! uname -r 3.1.10-1.19-desktop This is from a boot cdrom I made quite awhile ago. It appears the kernel was updated to 3.1.10-1.29-desktop while I was still booting from the original cdrom. I booted without the cdrom and uname -r shows 3.1.10-1.29-desktop and now I can mount an iso-file. Bottom line: if something can go wrong it will! Thanks to all who replied to my original request.
