Access the partition on which the ISOs are stored from the booted OS #436

Open probonopd opened 4 years ago

probonopd commented 4 years ago

I would like to be able to access the partition on which the ISOs are stored from the booted operating systems, using something like

sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/ventoy /mnt

Unfortunately I keep getting "device busy" type of errors (if the operating system even supports exfat at all). Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks @BL4CKH47H4CK3R but unfortunately this is not an option for me, since my Live ISOs tend to be many GB large... and I understand Memdisk Mode would entirely copy them to RAM.

@ventoy , Hi , thanks a lot for your efforts in developing Ventoy tool , it's really great these days. Any progress on this issue ?

I would also like to clarify the software situation a bit more in the application area according to an information like “Error mounting system-managed device /dev/…: /dev/… already mounted or mount point busy”.

+1 Same mounting problem. It's quite necessary to mount the ventoy partition in Linux.

I think it is sort of duplicate of #79 but we are waiting there from an year with a guy that said he could mount it but he doesn't want to say how. I think it should be one of the priorities of developing, after an year of waiting my expectations are quite low now...

This would be very useful, as I tend to use one ISO to build a fresher version - without this there is no way to save a live image from a live image.

The latest Ventoy 1.0.64 provides an experimental option VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT which can help to access the ISO partition after boot.
