How to mount the KNOPPIX file in woody?

**witkey** · 12-10-2002, 06:58 PM

I want to modify some configure file directly with the KNOPPIX image file.
But it doesn't work when I try to mount the KNOPPIX image file like this.
#mount -o loop -t iso9660 /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX /mnt/tmp
Following is the error message
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,or too many mounted file systems

Anyhelp will be appreciate.

see the cloop readme
http://www.knopper.net/download/knoppix/cloop.README

you will have to compile that module for your running kernel. ( doesn't require a kernel recompile if you have the sources )

Mounting a compressed image (see above for device creation):
insmod cloop.o file=/path/to/compressed/image
mount -o ro -t whatever /dev/cloop /mnt/compressed

--In addition to eadz's advice, I would try switching around your mount options, as such:

' mount -t auto /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX /mnt/tmp -o[mountoptions] '

Thanks anyway!

But it report the following error message when issue the instruction.

witkey:~# insmod cloop file=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19/misc/cloop.o
/lib/modules/2.4.19/misc/cloop.o: unresolved symbol kunmap_high
/lib/modules/2.4.19/misc/cloop.o: unresolved symbol highmem_start_page
/lib/modules/2.4.19/misc/cloop.o: unresolved symbol kmap_high

Need some help from you,my friends.

it seems your cloop module is not compiled correctly for your running kernel. you will need to recompile the cloop module, make sure your kernel sources in /usr/src/linux match your running kernel before compiling.

Yes. I had recomplied the cloop module with the way you taught. But still have the same problem. So, don't know what's the problem.

Oh,I know what's the problem now. Maybe something wrong with the cloop package from Debian. It works well when I got the package from knoppix.net .

Do you know if there is a way to mount a compressed image( KNOPPIX ) from a running CDROM based Knoppix system?

I tried but because cloop is already loaded and associated with /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX, it just locks up the process.
Thanks.
