Yes! This patch add a new file to the kernel tree, dm-loop.c: "This implements a loopback target for device mapper allowing a regular file to be treated as a block device." Great !!! At last :) It seems this dm-loop is quite new, less than a month... As I understand it I need kernel 2.6.18-rc7 to use it, right ? I really thank you a lot for your quick answer and link. Does anyone has yet a feedback about this dm-loop ? David G.M. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
