mount --bind lets you mount a directory.
- shfs -- Allows one to mount a remote filesystem via SSH.
- lufs -- Allows one to mount really odd things, like ftp, ssh or .. gnutella!
- Linux CDRW software#Mounting an ISO
- Samba mounting
- fusermount is from EncFS
- 'hal' controls auto-mounting. It seems to not always be installed by default on PCLinuxOS 2007. Strange.
- Desktop VFS aims to provide a system allowing desktop-oriented applications, such as file managers and office applications among others, to have access to remote data storage facilities using a Virtual File System API.
Unable to mount a partition a second time? Specify its filesystem type with -t .. and also check /etc/fstab to see if the filesystem is being specified incorrectly there!
[edit] mount a disk image with multiple partitions
Props to [1]:
How do you mount a disk image with multiple partitions? If an image contains a single partition, we can simply use a command like the following.
mount -o loop image_file /mnt
This will not work if the image_file is a complete disk image containing multiple partitions. I found a neat trick here that explains how to do it. The idea is to get the partition offset and then mount it as follows.
mount -o loop,offset=some_number image_file /mnt
The offset can be found by running fdisk -ul image_file. Detailed information is available here. Enjoy!
[edit] troubleshooting
[edit] issues with samba
Did you reboot your Vista machine while it was mounted on your Linux machine? Now your Linux box constantly hangs during save dialogues or 'df'? Do a lazy unmount:
umount -l /mnt/folder
Apparently a forced umount won't work, but lazy does. strange.
