I installed 12.3 on a new formatted partition. After installation I wanted to mount an iso-file to an empty directory (‘mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 /file.iso /mount-iso’) and got the message
(mount: /file.iso: failed to setup loop device: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden) (file or directory not found). I tried it with full path-names and so on but always the same problem.
Then I looked in /dev/ and found no loop0-file. I copied the file /dev/loop-control to /dev/loop0 and tried it again. Now the iso-file was mounted and in the /dev/-directory i find files named loop1, …loop7
which where not created by myself.
I hope this little workaround can help others and my first post is understandable, greetings nikstukas.
You could try this format:
sudo /bin/mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro,user /source/filename.iso /target/foldername
All folder names and file name must already exist. I have a bash script that can do this for you you can find here: ISOMount - Allows you to mount and Browse ISO Files - Version 1.00 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums
Thank You,
Can i ask a question here? it somewhat same with the theme.
when i open the Dolphin, in the left, i can see the several partitions i’ve mounted under “devices”. however, there are also some unkown devices with the same name “loop device” that i cannot use and also don’t know where they comes from. and what more strange is that their number rises as time goes by. what’s wrong with my system or my pc? could some help me? thx u!

Folks,
this is the German part of the forum. Please head over to the English application forums if English is your preferred language.
Thank you!

OH, I’m sorry! I just searched the question with “dolphin loop device” and found nothing but this title. Thanks for your suggestion!
