202

219 tristate "Loopback device support"
220 ---help---
221 Saying Y here will allow you to use a regular file as a block
222 device; you can then create a file system on that block device and
223 mount it just as you would mount other block devices such as hard
224 drive partitions, CD-ROM drives or floppy drives. The loop devices
225 are block special device files with major number 7 and typically
226 called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc.
227
228 This is useful if you want to check an ISO 9660 file system before
229 burning the CD, or if you want to use floppy images without first
230 writing them to floppy. Furthermore, some Linux distributions avoid
231 the need for a dedicated Linux partition by keeping their complete
232 root file system inside a DOS FAT file using this loop device
233 driver.
234
235 To use the loop device, you need the losetup utility, found in the
236 util-linux package, see
237 <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.
238
239 The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in
240 a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption
241 (scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low
242 bits of, say, a sound file). This is also safe if the file resides
243 on a remote file server.
244
245 There are several ways of encrypting disks. Some of these require
246 kernel patches. The vanilla kernel offers the cryptoloop option
247 and a Device Mapper target (which is superior, as it supports all
248 file systems). If you want to use the cryptoloop, say Y to both
249 LOOP and CRYPTOLOOP, and make sure you have a recent (version 2.12
250 or later) version of util-linux. Additionally, be aware that
251 the cryptoloop is not safe for storing journaled filesystems.
252
253 Note that this loop device has nothing to do with the loopback
254 device used for network connections from the machine to itself.

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