Mount ISO image solaris 10

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Here is a script for reference to mount an ISO image on Solaris 10. This came from a google search so I can’t take credit for it. It’s here so I can get to it quick.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Mount an ISO image using a loopback filesystem.
#
 
if [ -z "$1" -o -z "$2" ]; then
  echo "$0 <full_path_to_iso> <mount_point>"
  exit 0
fi
 
# Add the loopback block device.
# This will return the device path under /dev/lofi/.
printf "Creating loopback device to $1 ... "
LOFS_DEVICE=`lofiadm -a "$1"`
if [ 0 -ne $? ]; then
  exit 1
else
  echo "${LOFS_DEVICE}"
fi
 
# Now, mount the device to the mount point specified.
printf "Mounting $2 on ${LOFS_DEVICE} ... "
mount -F hsfs -o ro "${LOFS_DEVICE}" "$2"
if [ 0 -ne $? ]; then
  lofiadm -d ${LOFS_DEVICE}
  exit 1
else
  echo "mounted"
fi
