Original behavior of loop is not modified. A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be able to manage per loop device. This parameter is "loop_max_part". For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do: # modprobe loop loop_max_part=63 # ls -l /dev/loop? brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7 And to attach a raw partitionned disk image, the original losetup is used: # losetup -f etch.img EXT3 FS on loop0p1, internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. loop: module loaded loop0: p1 p2 < p5 > # ls -l /dev/loop?* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 1 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 5 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7 # mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt kjournald starting.
