Hi,

I'm not 100% sure this is the correct forum, but anyway:

I'm trying to mount an image file in my home dir on /mnt/virtual.

The image used to be and mdf/mds, but I've converted it using mdf2iso.

Code:
# mount -t iso9660 -o loop myIso.iso /mnt/virtual/
mount: Not a directory

What could the problem be?

Thanks in advance,
--crazedcougar

Don't have much experience with mouting images, so that's just a guess, but have you enabled "loopback device support" in your kernel?
Code:

Device Drivers
     --> Block devices
          --> <*> Loopback device support

That's odd... Try running just 'mount' and see if you get the same error.

I'd make sure you have root access and that you correctly specify everything.

After more testing i've discovered that I can mount other ISOs there. But not that one. It doesnt look like permissions could be the problem. I've heard a bug where ccd2iso would create faulty images, could this be the case with mdf2iso? If so, which i think is likely, is there a way to mount mdf/mds?

i`ve used mdf2iso many many times and it has always worked just fine .. :) ..
try searching the forum .. i saw somewhere a way you could try to mount mdf but i think that at the end you have to convert mdf to iso in order to mount it ..

Cheers
