I am using Ubuntu 18.04, and trying to moutn Matlab ISO using the following command:



sudo mount R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop


But terminal is responding back as:



mount: /mnt/cdrom: failed to setup loop device for R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso.


I am not sure as to what this means and how to take it forward.

Create /mnt/cdrom directory first:



mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom


Afterwards mount the iso-image with absolute image path, for example /home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso instead of just R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso:



sudo mount -o loop /home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/cdrom


If the directory /mnt/cdrom exists, get more info about your iso-image:



file R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso


and try to mount with explicit filesystem type, for example:



sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/cdrom


Additionally read my answer at Askubuntu, possibly your image has a boot sector, then mount it with offset option which should be calculated first.

  • @SayantanDatta I have edited my answer. You have to add absolute path to image, for example: /home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso - not just R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso
