Trying to make an "iso-mount-script"!

Hi,

I'm trying to make a little script to mount *.iso files easily in thunar, but it doesn't work!

Here we go:

fstab line:

/home/eko/.iso /media/iso iso9660 noauto,user,ro,loop 0 0

the script:

#!/bin/sh
umount /media/iso
rm -f ~/.iso
ln -s "$@" ~/.iso
mount /media/iso

When I execute the script, the link is done, but nothing's mounted!

And when I'm typing "mount -v ~/.iso" in my terminal, I get this error:

mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop0
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument
mount: failed setting up loop device

Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

It should work.  Doing a Google search on that error message indicates that it might be a problem with the filesystem the the iso is on.  Is your ~/ mounted using NFS?

Just tried it and it works fine for me (local ext3 partition).

That's really weird!

I'm also using local ext3 FS...

And I've no problems when I use the following command (with fstab line commented):

mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso/file/.iso /media/iso/

Nautilus scripts to mount and unmount, i hope this can help you with your script.
This scripts are NOT mine found it somewhere i can't remember maybe Archlinux Forum

#!/bin/bash 
# 
for I in "$*" 
do 
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal 
access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"` 
sudo mkdir /media/"$I" 
sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 "$I" /media/"$I" && nautilus /media/"$I" --no-desktop 
done 
done 
exit0

#!/bin/bash 
# 
for I in "$*" 
do 
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal 
access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"` 
sudo umount "$I" && zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted /media/$I/" && sudo rmdir "/media/$I/"

Works for me expect I can't get it to mount anything using thunar? How do you setup thunar?
