Loop Mounting
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#532NS)
Something a little funny here. Loop mounting has ceased to functionCode:bash-5.0$ ifconfig lo
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host>
loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
bash-5.0$ echo $HOSTNAME
RoseViolet.chateau.dec
bash-5.0$ hostname
RoseViolet.chateau.dec
bash-5.0$ cat /etc/hosts
# For loopbacking.
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.0.0.1 RoseViolet.chateau.dec RoseViolet
bash-5.0$ sudo mount /opt/InVesalius-3.1.1.glibc2.15-x86_64.AppImage /mnt/tmp
mount: /mnt/tmp: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.The 'Something Happened' error. In a tty, as root, I get 'failed to setup loop device for /opt/InVesalius-3.1.1.glibc2.15-x86_64.AppImage' which is a little more informative. In an xterm,with -t as an option, I get Code:sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/hd/Arm.Fedora32_aarch64.iso /mnt/tmp
mount: /mnt/tmp: failed to setup loop device for /mnt/hd/Arm.Fedora32_aarch64.iso.I feel it just might be something silly overwritten, as loop mounting was painless here until a week or two ago.
