 |
|
Hi,
I've compiled support for loopback devices into my kernel but when
I try to mount an ISO image I get,
mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
Any ideas on how to create them?

You compiled it as a module or into the kernel ?
If you've compile as a module and you're using devfs, simply load the module
and /dev/loop devices will appear.
In case you're not using devfs run
to create loop devices under /dev

If you want to mount something on the loopback device you should use mount -o loop -t <thetype> <isofile> <thedirectory>.

ofcourse the loop module needs to present (in kernel or as loaded module).
