Mount an ISO image file in Red Hat

If you have copied the Red Hat 7 ISO image to a directory on the system, you can mount the ISO image file by running the following command:

# mount -o loop /var/rhel7iso/rhel-server-7.0-x86_64-dvd.iso /mnt

Note: The loop option tells the mount command that what is being mounted is not a block mountable device file but a mountable image file.

# df -h | grep mnt

To mount from DVD:

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
