Possibly mount ignored your -t iso9660 ? Type mount on its own to see what
filesystem type it is actually mounted as.
Since I'm sure you wouldn't bring this up unless it was true, the other
possibilities I can imagine is that your ripping action encoded it to iso9660
via a pipe to mkisofs, you dd'd it from a CD backup in a CD drive, or dd has
hidden and mysterious powers until now kept secret from me - and from man
dd :-)
Ha ha! Did I ever tell you that there's a genie in my PC. :~D
Well as I said it must be my buggy system [or the genie] working in my
favour for once.
I actually created the img from a drive connected to a USB unit with dd,
and whats more is I have no idea how to pipe dd to mkisofs so it can't
be that.
The only thing I can think of is maybe I used mkisofs. But the problem
there is I don't know how to use it. I have always been happy with dd.
Anyway sorry for the bad advice, at least you can see where I got it
from, regardless of how weird it may seem.
IIRC, if you used dd to grab the CD's data from a raw device, e.g.
"dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/some/file", then "/some/file" will be an ISO
image since you grabbed the sector-by-sector layout of the disk. This
is handy to make copies of CDs. I've done it many times.
