This one is informational.
A friend at work gave me a DVD-RW with 7 ISO files on it. He said was tired carrying so many CDs, instead he could carry one single DVD.
We were out of DVDs, but I have some at home. So he asked me for that favor...
I burn them as ISO (he said so, 'cos he uses Alcohol) and try to test them.
Surprise: there was no way to get '(sudo) mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/iso' working
I don't know how long it took me, but what really bothered me was
'file' couldn't recognize it! there was no tip for me...
Of course, Nero on Window$ could handle it
>
I was sure files were fine.
Some hours later and I read on a French forum (I don't even speak French!!! but commands are always English...) something about ccd2iso.
That was it!! my friend, as a Window$ user, he runs CloneCD to generate the files and they were named ISO, indeed they are not the standard ones.
I generate one real ISO with 'ccd2iso' and then 'mount' worked finally.
BTW, when you know what's going on, things get easier. Later, I found fuseiso - this one can handle CloneCD ISOs directly and many more.
I have to be honest, it was disappointing 'file' not reporting the correct type.
Now I'll go to bed
