Refers to file systems that are mounted onto some directory entry in your root file system. You can mount files using the mount system-call and then later unmount them.

Mounting Regular Files

You can mount a regular file containing a complete file-system by specifying the loop option. This option wraps the original file as a block device.

mkdir arch
sudo mount -o loop archlinux-2015.04.01-dual.iso ./arch
ls arch
