- Summary
- Linux supports a special block device called the loop device, which
maps a normal file onto a virtual block device. This allows for the
file to be used as a "virtual file system" inside another file.
Losetup is used to associate loop devices with regular files or block
devices, to detach loop devices and to query the status of a loop
device.
