I need to mount a disk image located on an NFS network share without copying it first.
Only a non-root user (apache
) on the RHEL 5 machine I'm on has permissions to access the files on that network share.
sudo mount
/ sudo losetup
both didn't work, as I lose permission to access the files. Adding an /etc/fstab
entry with user
flag didn't work either. chmod ugo+rw
on the network share also failed.
Is there any way to mount
these disk images without copying them first?
Doing what @Malvineous suggested:
$ losetup -o 512 /dev/loop7 img.img
/dev/loop7: Permission denied
# chown apache:apache /dev/loop7
$ losetup -o 512 /dev/loop7 img.img
memlock: Cannot allocate memory
Couldn't lock into memory, exiting.
Doing the exact same thing as root works.
