This article mainly introduces how to use linux virtual optical drive, which has certain reference value and can be used for reference by friends who need it. I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article. Next, let the editor take you to learn about it.

To use a virtual optical drive under Linux, you don't need any virtual optical drive software at all. You can do it with the mount command.

1. Make the CD into an iso file

Cp / dev/cdrom XXXXX.iso

XXXXX.iso is the image file you named. After executing this command, the entire CD can be made into an iso file. XXXXX.iso

You can add the path before.

two。 Load the iso file on your hard drive to the CD (or virtual optical drive).

Mount-t iso9660-o loop / * / XXXXX.iso / mnt/iso

3. If you install the files provided by the system disk, such as adding and deleting programs, you may be prompted to insert the CD, but we do not have a CD, only a mirror image, what should we do?

For Redhat, mount iso first and then execute

Redhat-install-packages-isodir=/mnt/iso

4. General situation virtual optical drive

Use losetup to check the usage of loop devices, and use losetup-f to find the first available device.

Rm-rf / dev/cdrom # remove the optical drive ln / dev/loop7 / dev/cdromlosetup / dev/loop7 / * / XXXXX.isomount / dev/cdrom / mnt/cdrom

Then you look at the iso file, has it become a virtual optical drive?

Cancel this CD-ROM drive:

Losetup-d / dev/loop7

If you change the disk:

Just transfer the iso association to / dev/loop
