2005-12-21Trying to losetup a device as a regular user shouldn't result in an endlessRob Landley
loop, and the error messages should display correctly now.
2005-11-29Fix losetup so that it A) actually works again, B) has much better errorRob Landley
messages, C) can show the current association (if any) when called with only one argument. Update the documentation a lot too. Remind me to add a test suite for this thing. I think I've figured out how to handle root-only testsuites...

to update the year himself.

- use shorter boilerplate and use C89 style comments
2005-10-11The check for EROFS was wrong. For example, if you try to mount a filesystemRob Landley
appended to an executable that's being run (yes, I'm doing this) you get EPERM, but mounting readonly fixes it. Doing the fallback all the time shouldn't hurt, and is one less test.
2005-08-10Major rewrite of mount, umount, losetup. Untangled lots of code, shrunkRob Landley
things down a bit, fixed a number of funky corner cases, added support for several new features (things like mount --move, mount --bind, lazy unounts, automatic detection of loop mounts, and so on). Probably broke several other things, but it's fixable. (Bang on it, tell me what doesn't work for you...) Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop". It does that for you when necessary. Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid. Not too hard to do under the new infrastructure, just haven't done it yet... The previous code had the following notes, that belong in the version control comments: - * 3/21/1999 Charles P. Wright <cpwright@cpwright.com> - * searches through fstab when -a is passed - * will try mounting stuff with all fses when passed -t auto - * - * 1999-04-17 Dave Cinege...Rewrote -t auto. Fixed ro mtab. - * - * 1999-10-07 Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>. - * Rewrite of a lot of code. Removed mtab usage (I plan on - * putting it back as a compile-time option some time), - * major adjustments to option parsing, and some serious - * dieting all around. - * - * 1999-11-06 mtab support is back - andersee - * - * 2000-01-12 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, Borrowed utils-linux's - * mount to add loop support. - * - * 2000-04-30 Dave Cinege <dcinege@psychosis.com> - * Rewrote fstab while loop and lower mount section. Can now do - * single mounts from fstab. Can override fstab options for single - * mount. Common mount_one call for single mounts and 'all'. Fixed - * mtab updating and stale entries.

2005-07-27move the ifdef to after libbb.h include, so it can do some good.Paul Fox

0000068: mount limited to max 8 loop devices (patch provided) (made minor wording change for config help message)
2005-01-04Dear andersen:Eric Andersen
Is the change on libbb/loop.c which you commited in 2005/1/3 effective really? The __GLIBC__ macro and __UCLIBC__ macro are defined in feature.h in glibc source, so the change may not be effective. If you want to check this with __GLIBC__, feature.h header is needed. Some architectures(e.g. PPC series) need to include linux/posix_types.h in stead of asm/posix_types.h, so the patch which is attached with this mail include <linux/posix_types.h>.
2005-01-03perhaps a better fixEric Andersen

2004-08-16Use __kernel_old_dev_t for 2.6.x kernelsEric Andersen

with a quick conversion you will see that 132608 == 0x20600 so noticed that the elif will never be matched ! Apparently there was already a try to modify this in CVS which was reverted (it was plain wrong). I don't know when __kernel_old_dev_t is needed, but with a 2.6.7 or a 2.6.8 this is __kernel_dev_t wich is needed. I corrected this with the following patch but maybe older 2.6 still need __kernel_old_dev_t ? I think this should be corrected before 1.0. Thanks Aurel

2004-02-06Make the loop support stuff be much less evil, and make it copeEric Andersen
with 2.6.x asm/posix_types.h, which has done singularly evil thing by yanking __kernel_dev_t and renaming it. The loop interface was really poorly designed in the first place. The new 64 bit loop interface looks to be somewhat less horrible, too bad it is only present in 2.6.x kernels. -Erik
