Mount an ISO image under Linux

Mounting ISO images under Linux using loop device.

Assuming /mnt/disk directory is already exists, if not then create it before running the below command.

Mount:

# mount -o loop PathTo/images.iso /mnt/disk

That's it, images.iso has been mounted under /mnt/disk and now you can browse the files.

Unmount:

# umount /mnt/disk
