Re^3: Perl script to mount iso file

Like I said, you can make a symlink, either from the perl script or from the php page. Just make sure that isofile node is a symlink to the file you want to mount before mounting.

See symlink

ok for the symlink part... I tried adding this to my /etc/fstab /tmp/vdrv0iso /media/vdrv0 iso9660 user,loop 0 0 my /tmp/vdrv0iso symlink points to /home/user/isos/file.iso but I still need root to mount that, I must be missing something. what command do I have to run after creating the symlink ?

`mount /tmp/vdrv0iso` or `mount /tmp/vdrv0` [download] should both work on linux at least. In any case you probably must specify the device or the entry point as it's mentioned in your /etc/fstab. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ok, I managed to get it to work. I put my symlink in /home/user/public_html/tmp/ I modified my /etc/fstab with /home/user/public_html/tmp/symlink /media/vdrv0 iso9660 user,loop 0 0 Then my perl script manage the umounting, mounting and symlinking. Thanks a lot, your help is really appreciated!	[reply]
