Nero.iso: Nero CD image at 0x4B000 UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) 'nero'Īfter trying a few different things I came across a reference to the software iat which says it 'converts many CD-ROM image formats to iso9660'. I called the ISO nero.iso because using the file command revealed the ISO is an artifact of the 'Nero' CD Burning software, not that that helps any: $ sudo file nero.iso Mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. If it's wrong, perhaps the previous question can be re-opened, and this answer put there, where I'd like it to be? Since this user edited the original question, I suspect he might have been the one to close the original: Īnyway, leaving the filing issues behind, here's an example of trying to mount the ISO: $ sudo mount -o ro,loop -t iso9660 nero.iso /mnt I feel that curators often close questions for indecipherable reasons, however, I don't have any choice but to use the closure and reference given. I'm actually answering this problem ( Unable to mount an ISO file), which problem I also have, and have just solved, but the original question has been closed, and refers to this question, even though they seem different. I tried several methods but they all fail somehow. Wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

How do I open / mount my ISO file when normal methods throw this error? Mount single partition from image of entire disk (device).So this is the most convenient method if you are willing to reboot. It mounts the image to a /dev/loopX device, and automatically mounts the partitions to /dev/loopXpY devices.

How to set a module parameter is also covered at: How to add kernel module parameters?Īfter a reboot, when you do: sudo losetup -f -show my.img To /etc/default/grub and then sudo update-grub. To a file in /etc/modprobe, or: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='loop.max_part=31' To change it, we can either add: options loop max_part=31 It is 0 by default on Ubuntu 14.04 which is why no auto-splitting happens. Says how many partitions loop devices can generate. If you configure it right, Linux automatically splits up the devices for you. Loop is a kernel module, built into the kernel in Ubuntu 14.04. NAME SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE DIOĭev='$(sudo losetup -show -f -P '$img')'

Losetup -P is the best method starting in Ubuntu 16.04 as mentioned at, here are functions to automate if further.
