Mount an iso image in ubuntu using no GUI


We can easily mount an iso image file in our system to a directory in linux.We need not require an GUI application to do this.It is easy to do from the terminal itself.We use the mount command for that.

The steps are as follows 
1. Open the terminal in ubuntu (Shortcut press ctrl+Alt+t)

2. Create a directory to mount the iso image 
     
     $sudo mkdir /media/myimage
3. Then type the following command

    $sudo modprobe loop

4.After that go to the location of the iso image file and type

    $sudo mount /media/myimage -t iso9660 -0 loop
  
The iso file is mounted to the specified directory

To unmount it give the command

 sudo unmount /media/myimage

That all.Cool isn't!

sudo modprobe loop will loads the module for loopback file system
iso9660 is the file system used by CD-ROM
-t specify the file system type
-o loop additional option used by a loopback filesystem

UNIX : What is /dev/null ?

/dev/null is a file where you can discard the output of the command executed. This file is also called as Bit Bucket. eg : >ls -ltr > /dev/null > Here the output of command ls is never shown on terminal STDOUT. It is redirected to bit bucket. Sometimes we need not display the output as well as error message of command.In this case use the following command. > command > /dev/null 2>&1 The command output is redirected to /dev/null.Also the error output, STDERR (which is called by 2) is redirected to STDOUT (called as 1 ).That means the error will be redirected to /dev/null.
