losetup and O_DIRECT option

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

 



Hi,

I have an application involving the loopback device where it would be
valuable for the underlying file to be opened with the O_DIRECT flag.

Any thoughts one way or the other about adding support to losetup(8)
and mount(8) for a 'direct' option that would enable this?

I will propose a patch if people think this would be a reasonable thing to do.

Thanks,
-Archie
