Re: Virtual CD drive for FreeBSD?

2006-01-10 Thread Wojciech Puchar



Is there such a thing as a virtual CD drive in the Ports. Something that


well it has virtual CD, virtual DVD, virtual floppy, virtual disk and 
virtual any-block-device


man mdconfig :)

in base FreeBSD distribution.


mdconfig -a -t vnode -o readonly -f file

will show device name like md0

and /dev/md0 is your "virtual CD"

md(4)

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f your_iso.iso

then it prints name of device (in my case md1)

then 
mount_cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt

and after you have finished 
umount /mnt
mdconfig -d -u 1

Look no further than the base system. mdconfig(8) the image file, and
then mount_cd9660(8) the device node.
