Mounting Disk Images

FreeBSD
To mount a disk image on FreeBSD:
First attach the image to unit #1:
# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /big3/project/images/img/67.img -u 1
Then mount:
# mount -t msdos /dev/md1s1 /mnt
# ls /mnt BOOTLOG.PRV BOOTLOG.TXT COMMAND.COM IO.SYS MSDOS.SYS
To unmount:
# umount /mnt # mdconfig -d -u 1
To mount the image read-only, use:
# mdconfig -o readonly -a -t vnode -f /big3/project/images/img/67.img -u 1 # mount -o ro -t msdos /dev/md1s1 /mnt
Linux
To mount a disk image on Linux
# mount -t vfat -o loop,ro,noexec img.dd /mnt
The ro is for read-only.
This will mount NSRL ISOs:
# mount /home/simsong/RDS_218_A.iso /mnt/nsrl -t iso9660 -o loop,ro,noexec
Some raw images contains multiple partitions (e.g. full HD image). In this case, it's necessary to specify a starting offset for each partition.
# mount -t vfat -o loop,offset=32256,ro,noexec img.dd /mnt/tmp_1 # mount -t vfat -o loop,offset=20974464000,ro,noexec img.dd /mnt/tmp_2
To unmount
# umount /mnt
