attach-bincue - attach a .bin (cdrom image) containing an iso9660 fs to nbd

  attach-bincue -i iso9660.bin -m /mnt &	# start server

  # kill server
  umount /mnt
  attach-bincue -d /dev/ndx		# disconnect server

With the -i switch, attaches a .bin file (containing an iso 9660 filesystem image in the bin/cue "fileformat") to a nbd instance and serve requests.

Otherwise the nbd device specified with -d is sent a disconnect request, usually causing it to exit cleanly.

Despite the name of this program, many more image formats can be attached due to the guessing code - I have successfully mounted nero-nrg, clonecd-img, blindwrite, uncompressed .fcd and a few more formats.

--image binfile

Attached the given file to the network block device and serve requests. The command will only exit on disconnect or any fatal errors.

--offset bytes

The ISO image is offset by the given number of bytes. The default is to guess. Common values are 24, 8 and 0.

--size blocksize

The blocksize in bytes. The default is to guess. Common values are 2352, 2332 and 2340.

--device /dev/ndx

The nbd device node to use. attach-bincue automatically looks for a unused one if this switch isn't given.

--verbose

Increase verbosity. With this switch, read requests will be logged to stdout.

--mount path

Try to mount the CD as iso image on the given path.

Common combinations of offset and blocksize

   attach-bincue -b 2352 -o 24
   attach-bincue -b 2332 -o 8
   attach-bincue -b 2340 -o 0
