Hi,
Is there a way in Linux to mount a remotely located disk image
(like maybe an iso image) over netowrk (think http) without
downloding it completely ?
Maybe something like :
#mount http://www.server.com/image.iso /dest_dir

How about http://aufs.sourceforge.net/uloop.txt?
Note: I don't use it much by myself.
You can get source files from CVS tree on SourceForge.

Another possible solution is using httpfs, which is just a FUSE-based filesystem. It runs in userspace, but requires FUSE, compared to uloop, which is a kernel driver. Search google for httpfs, it's old, but works too. You'll have to patch it manually and add "Connection: Keep-Alive" header to it, in order to get better performance.
