195

212 tristate "Loopback device support"
213 ---help---
214 Saying Y here will allow you to use a regular file as a block
215 device; you can then create a file system on that block device and
216 mount it just as you would mount other block devices such as hard
217 drive partitions, CD-ROM drives or floppy drives. The loop devices
218 are block special device files with major number 7 and typically
219 called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc.
220
221 This is useful if you want to check an ISO 9660 file system before
222 burning the CD, or if you want to use floppy images without first
223 writing them to floppy. Furthermore, some Linux distributions avoid
224 the need for a dedicated Linux partition by keeping their complete
225 root file system inside a DOS FAT file using this loop device
226 driver.
227
228 To use the loop device, you need the losetup utility, found in the
229 util-linux package, see
230 <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.
231
232 The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in
233 a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption
234 (scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low
235 bits of, say, a sound file). This is also safe if the file resides
236 on a remote file server.
237
238 There are several ways of encrypting disks. Some of these require
239 kernel patches. The vanilla kernel offers the cryptoloop option
240 and a Device Mapper target (which is superior, as it supports all
241 file systems). If you want to use the cryptoloop, say Y to both
242 LOOP and CRYPTOLOOP, and make sure you have a recent (version 2.12
243 or later) version of util-linux. Additionally, be aware that
244 the cryptoloop is not safe for storing journaled filesystems.
245
246 Note that this loop device has nothing to do with the loopback
247 device used for network connections from the machine to itself.

249 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
250 module will be called loop.
