losetup: Programs for setting up and configuring loopback devices.

Name:	losetup	Vendor:	Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Version:	2.11y	License:	distributable
Release:	31.2	URL:

Summary

Linux supports a special block device called the loop device, which maps a normal file onto a virtual block device. This allows for the file to be used as a "virtual file system" inside another file. Losetup is used to associate loop devices with regular files or block devices, to detach loop devices and to query the status of a loop device.

Changelog

* Sat Sep 25 19:00:00 2004 Steve Dickson <SteveD{%}RedHat{*}com>

- Added the noacl nfs mount option which turns of
  any and all ACL processing. Need since older
  versions of Solaris and RHEL3 simply don't play
  well together wrt ACL processing. (bz# 106584)

* Fri Sep 19 19:00:00 2003 Elliot Lee <sopwith{%}redhat{*}com> 2.11y-31

- Add patch140 (alldevs) to fix #101772. Printing the total size of
  all devices was deemed a lower priority than having all devices
  (e.g. /dev/ida/c0d9) displayed.

* Fri Sep 12 19:00:00 2003 Dan Walsh <dwalsh{%}redhat{*}com> 2.11y-31

- turn off selinux
