Thread: loop devices

hi

using losetup use files block devices. created file 'test' , fired command -

losetup /dev/loop0 test

under reboot, mapping of loop device lost. can make loop devices persistent , how ?

also, there other way can use regular files block devices ?

when reboot, did "device" disappear?
if not, can use /etc/fstab in usual way, add line follows:

code:

/path/to/device   /path/to/mountpoint   none   loop   0 0

that might work?
