Once I have a working loop device, e.g. /dev/loop5, how can I get the size of this device in bytes for bash-script? I need this, so that I can create two loop-devices on top on it, like losetup -o 0 -s $halfsize /dev/loop6 /dev/loop5 losetup -o $halfsize /dev/loop7 /dev/loop5 I tried trivial `perl -e 'print -s "/dev/loop5"'`, but it just returns zero. There's likely a trivial answer to this, but I havn't been able to find it. -- Markus Laire - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
