Hello, Is there any (un)official patch for current stable (or development) kernel that makes loop device partitioned? I found one on the ftp://ftp.hq.nasa.gov/pub/ig/ccd/enhanced_loopback/ (it contains port of Scyld's partition enhancements), but it seems still needs a fix. In general I plan to use partitioned loop device to simulate real disks in linux labs, possibly with a help from Stephen Tweedie's testdrive fault simulator. I just wonder if partitionable/faultable loop device planned in the future official kernels, or it will be better to write a separate 'simulated disk' driver???
Thanks in advance, Dimitry. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
