I have a char device that I want to make mountable. mount complains that /dev/cpqpjb is not a block device. I have tried using a loopback device to convert my char device into a block device. I did this by typing mount -t myfs -o loop=/dev/loop2 /dev/char_device ./mnt/test_fs That does not seem to work as I get ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: device or resource busy. Is there any way I can temporay make the char device into a block device without rewriting the char devices code?
