- Summary
- Linux supports a special block device called the loop device, which
maps a normal file onto a virtual block device. This allows for the
file to be used as a "virtual file system" inside another file.
Losetup is used to associate loop devices with regular files or block
devices, to detach loop devices and to query the status of a loop
device.
Changelog
- * Sat Sep 25 19:00:00 2004 Steve Dickson <SteveD{%}RedHat{*}com>
- Added the noacl nfs mount option which turns of
any and all ACL processing. Need since older
versions of Solaris and RHEL3 simply don't play
well together wrt ACL processing. (bz# 106584)
- * Fri Sep 19 19:00:00 2003 Elliot Lee <sopwith{%}redhat{*}com> 2.11y-31
- Add patch140 (alldevs) to fix #101772. Printing the total size of
all devices was deemed a lower priority than having all devices
(e.g. /dev/ida/c0d9) displayed.
