I just read some source code of loop.c file. I have some questions about this loop device. I am a new one to this loop device. Thanks in advance. I want to implement my own loop device which is used to encrypt the whole disk,say /dev/fd0, even including the boot sector on the floppy disk. How can I make a connection between my own loop device with the floppy disk? I mean how I can connect the loop device with the floppy disk to hook the READ/WRITE operations to the floppy disk.
