Description of problem: When you mount an ISO image using 'sudo mount -o loop image.iso /media/cdrom', you are not given read access to the loop file representing the image (/dev/loopX). volname /dev/loopX should return the volume name of the mounted image, like you would get for a mounted physical CD (/dev/hdX). In order to work around this, I 'sudo chown myuser /dev/loopX'. This is important in order to install software from ISO images in Wine, which reads the volume name in order to handle media switching. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo mount -o loop image.iso /media/cdrom 2. volname /dev/loopX where X is the actual loop device number. Actual results: No volume name is available because of insufficient permissions. Expected results: This should be able to give the volume name of the image, just as though it were a physical CD device. Extra information: I marked this as a bash component, but I'm really not sure what component it should be.
Fixed component and reassigning.
err... /dev/loop cannot be given read-all permissions by default. Since you can mount as root, you can chmod also.
