La commande 'loopmount' permet de monter sur un répertoire une image ISO se trouvant sur un système AIX.
La commande suivante effectue le montage sur le répertoire /mnt
# loopmount -i Image1.iso -o "-V cdrfs -o ro" -m /mnt
Cette commande fonctionne également avec les fichiers NERO ".NRG".
La syntaxe officielle de la commande est donnée ci-dessous.
loopmount Command
Purpose
Associate an image file to a loopback device. Optionally, make an image file available as a file system via the loopback
device.
Syntax
loopmount { -i imagefile | -l device } [-o mount options -m mountpoint ]
Description
This command is similar to mount except that it creates a loopback device if not specified, binds the specified file to
it, and optionally mounts it. If the command implicitly creates a new loopback device, it sets the temporary attribute
in CuAt to yes so that it will be deleted by subsequent loopumount or reboot. All the restrictions and features of the
mount command apply to loopmount also.

Description

-m

If l and i are both specified, the imagefile is associated with the device before mounting it.
