Loopback device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, 

What is a loopback device? Why is a ramdisk, with an ext2 file system
called a loopback device? You can make an ext2 file system dump on your
host, but you can not create a yaffs file system dump on your host, what
is the criterion?

Thanks.
