Hi Anand, In Linux or in OpenSolaris, an .iso image can be loopback mounted on any directory. This eliminates the need for having virtual drive. for eg: On OpenSolaris, you have an iso image ( an .iso file). Lets call that file as cdfile.iso.
If you want to mount that filesystem at directory /mnt/example Here are the steps: #lofiadm -a <asolute-path>/cdfile.iso This will return you an device file name: eg: /dev/lofi/1 now, you can mount this device name #mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt/example Now, /mnt/example will show contents of the filesystem present in cdfile.iso. On Linux, it even more simpler mount -o loop -t iso9660 <asolute-path>/cdfile.iso /mnt/example Regards, Ameya On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 3:00 PM, anand ulle <anandulle at gmail.com> wrote: > hello all , > > > can any one guide me how to write a virtual drive for > linux envi as i have not seen any virtual drive software for linux as > we have for windows please help me . > > -- > When people complain about M$ and Appl$ issues Shoulda used Linux!. > My Computer.
