Summary: attaching disk image to loop doesn't make it perform
partition check
Kernel Version: Linux puppet 2.6.17.10 #1 SMP Wed Aug 23 16:35:49 CEST
2006 i686
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Owner: drivers_other at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
Submitter: gj at pointblue.com.pl
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Distribution:
debian unstable
Hardware Environment:
x86 pM
Software Environment:
gnu
Problem Description and Steps to reproduce:
let's say that I made image of HDD for backup:
dd if=/dev/sdd of=/spool/sdd-backup
losetup /dev/loop0 /spool/sdd-backup
fdisk -l /dev/loop0
Disk /dev/loop0: 536 MB, 536870912 bytes
32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 520 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/loop0p1 * 1 520 524128+ 6 FAT16
now, all nice - but there's no device called /dev/loop0p1 so I can't mount it!
I wish kernel somehow scan that loop device, just like it does when I insert
any sort of device, whether that's usb stick or removable drive.
thank you!
