ISO mount support

[masterlog80]

Hello,

By modifying the script here, I was able to have this working on Orange Pi Zero 3 smoothly, by using the official Image Orangepizero3_1.0.2_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux6.1.31.img [1] (of course it may work with other Debian based image, but this has Python 3.10 already installed so it's easier to setup). Checking KVMD version it shows 3.198 which can eventually be pretty old.
I am assuming this is the reason of the lack of ISO mount support:

At least comparing to the screenshots online:

Is there someone able to have the ISO mount working? Or to eventually upgrade it to a more recent version?

Thanks and regards,

@halida We may need assistance from the person who created this repo (@jacobbar), but it doesn't seem there is a lot of activity recently....

Hello @leux0 , sorry but can you please explain your update above?

I've tested it and it works well on my Orange Pi Zero 3 with the official system image Orangepizero3_1.0.2_ubuntu_jammy_server_linux6.1.31.

Here are details:

1. Applying patches requires mounting a partition (ext4 file system) for ISO mount functionality.

• For example, you can use gparted or diskgenius to repartition the SD card and create a new partition using the remaining space on the SD card.

• Or, you can use manually created img file for mounting it as partitions

  dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/disk.img bs=1M count=8192 status=progress
  mkfs.ext4 /root/disk.img
  
  

2. Use lsblk to view storage device information, assuming the new partition is /dev/mmcblk0p2 (if you use USB flash drive, it should be like /dev/sda1. Or, if you use img file as partitions, it would be /root/disk.img)

   

3. Add the /dev/mmcblk0p2 partition mount entry to the last line of /etc/fstab :
   /dev/mmcblk0p2 /var/lib/kvmd/msd ext4 nodev,nosuid,noexec,rw,errors=remount-ro,data=journal,X-kvmd.otgmsd-root=/var/lib/kvmd/msd,X-kvmd.otgmsd-user=kvmd 0 0

4. Edit /etc/kvmd/override.yaml and change the msd type option from disabled to otg

   kvmd:
       msd:
           type: otg
   

5. reboot system
   sudo reboot

@YipKo thank you for your update.
I will check that asap, but does it apply on the UI as well?
Like adding the "Drive" menu which I have seen on the official device:

@masterlog80 It does apply on the UI and works perfectly. Just follow the instructions above. :)

It seems working thanks!
But I need to try with a real ISO.

It works perfectly @YipKo, thank you for your assistance!
