GUI /mnt/loop

[Bogomips]

In neither Dolphin nor SpaceFM could /mnt/loop be found.

Did you mloop a file? No mloop no /mnt/loop/.

Did you mloop a file? No mloop no /mnt/loop/.

Of course

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# mloop /mnt/sda9/slx/slax-6.1.2.tar                     
using /dev/loop9

Please wait while i gather some info ....

 Your tarball file has been mounted at: 
/mnt/loop

You can unmount it by typing uloop

Here is a list of the files:
boot  slax

After not finding anything soon with Dolphin, activated SpaceFM

Code: Select all

loop6     7:6    0  35.9M  1 loop /mnt/live/memory/images/VLC_191014.xzm
loop7     7:7    0    60K  1 loop /mnt/live/memory/images/gtk-ch_161014.xzm
loop8     7:8    0  16.3M  1 loop /mnt/live/memory/images/Kate_211014.xzm
loop9     7:9    0   836K  1 loop /mnt/live/memory/images/spacefm-0.8.2-i486-1dj.xzm

Don't know if it's the same loop9 as before, but anyway CLI carried on fine with /mnt/loop. On SpaceFM /mnt/loop did not show under /mnt as well, nor anywhere else.

This is possibly because of a udisk/udev? rule to hide loops from the file manager. It is unfortunate that the name of the folder is /mnt/loop. Maybe this should be changed. Try entering the address manually into the file manager and you should get there.

Could not enter folder /mnt/loop

The only place found in Dolphin: mnt>live>memory>changes>mnt>loop (empty)

i dont think you can mount a tar archive on a loop device.
sorry - i was wrong. we have archivemount for this and mloop can use it:

Code: Select all

cat /mount 
aufs on / type aufs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type iso9660 (noatime,nodiratime,suid,dev,exec,async)
/dev/sr0 on /mnt/sr0 type iso9660 (noatime,nodiratime,suid,dev,exec,async)
/mnt/live/run on /run type none (rw,bind)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
archivemount on /mnt/loop type fuse.archivemount (rw,nosuid,nodev)

no problems here under kde4.

Try use file manager as root.

[fanthom]

archive is mounted over fuse so only owner can see it. even root is not able to do it if he is not the user who mounted it.
unless there is some parameter which i dont know.

Try use file manager as root.

Looks like there can be only one owner, and that is root

As predicted, with su Dolphin /mnt/loop shows in left panel.

mloop forces root privs so do not use it when you are mounting something over fuse.
use archivemount directly as a normal user.
