create a virtual floppy image without mount? [closed]

问题

There are a lot of posts to show to create a virtual floppy image file as a super user or users can run sudo command. The basic steps are:

create empty 1.44MB image file by dd command
format the image file by mkfs.msdos
mount the image file to some mount point
copy something to the mount point
umount the virtual floppy image file

my question is, in case I am just a common user who cannot run sudo command, how can I follow above steps to create a virtual floppy image and write something in it?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, of course you can do this. Use mtools for the FAT and e2tools or genext2fs for the ext2 filesystems.

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk1.img count=1440 bs=1k 
1440+0 records in
1440+0 records out

$ /sbin/mkfs.msdos /tmp/disk1.img

$ mdir -i /tmp/disk1.img

And of course, I have no root rights.
