Full Version: How to mount the stresslinux cloop image
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I tried to mount the cloop image (I assume it is one) of the ISO distribution with the following commands:
losetup /dev/loop1 /mnt/stresslinux-read-only.i686-0.4.111
mount -o ro /dev/loop1 /mnt/loop1

However, i am asked to use a specific filessystem type.
Could you please provide me th fs type and tell me how this cloop image was generated?
Actually, I try to use to extract all files of the filesystem in order to set up a new PXE loadable version. Unfortunately, I had an issue loading the version 0.3.1 due to an issue with the console implementation.

Could you please help me with that? thanks.
stresslinux download files are compressed with bzip2, you have to extract
the iso image first. then you can mount it like that:

[code]mount -o loop stresslinux_64bit.x86_64-0.4.134.iso /mnt/[/code]

Be sure you have the correct right (root) to do the mount. The filesystem type
is iso9660.

Additionally i don't think you will get PXE to work with current ISO image,
without manipulating initrd contents (adding network drivers) and maybe some
other stuff. It's planned to have a PXE version again, but i can't tell when
it will be available.[/code][/quote]
