How To Mount An ISO Image Using Linux

Search The Site

The first thing we must do is login to the system as a root user. To login as root type the following in a terminal:
su -
Next, we create a mount point for the image we wish to mount. In a terminal type the following;
mkdir -p /mnt/disk
Next, we mount the ISO file. Assuming our disk is called example.iso type the following in a terminal;
mount -o loop example.iso /mnt/disk
That's it, you are done, unless of course you would like to ensure that no changes can be made to the ISO file while you are perusing it, I would suggest the following command to view the file with read only permissions.
mount -o loop,ro example.iso /mnt/disk
