mount_image(1) General Commands Manual mount_image(1) NAME mount_image - Mount a disk image SYNOPSIS mount_image filesystem-type image-file mount-point DESCRIPTION The mount_image command mounts a disk image, such as a ISO 9660 CD/DVD im- age file or a FAT (msdos) image on the directory "mount-point". The filesystem-type argument must match the name of one of FreeBSD's filesystem specific mount commands. For example, FreeBSD's mount_msdosfs would be used to mount a FAT filesystem, so to mount a FAT disk image, use mount_image msdosfs filename mount-point The process involves creating a memory disk image using mdconfig, which must be detached using mdconfig in order to release the resources. Hence, images mounted using mount_image should always be unmounted using umount_image, which automatically detaches the correct memory disk. NOTES The FreeBSD tar command is capable of extracting cd9660 ISO images, so it is unnecessary to mount them if your goal is to copy their contents.
