Hello ! with tools like losetup or dmsetup/kpartx, i can turn a flatfile/imagefile or parts of that into a blockdevice. but how can i do that in reverse ? for example make 80gb harddisk /dev/sda appear as 80gb /tmp/flatfile ? ChunkFS from http://chunkfs.florz.de/ comes close to what i need, but Fuse is slow and ChunkFS doesn`t have write support. any hints ? regards roland ______________________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!
