From: dminer@cs.umr.edu (Dan Miner) Subject: loop device/file: how to mount? Date: Tue, 27 Oct 1992 23:16:00 GMT
I'm like to make just a plain old file and put a file
system on it. I remember reading about loop file that can be
used like this. I want to put the efs in it for my man pages.
X11 lib man pages have filenames greater than 14 chars. I have
too much stuff and not enough disks. Mounting a loop file to
put my man pages in can be a quick fix. Trouble is I can't get
it to work...
I have hlu disks installed and 0.98.1. Any ideas?
(making fs in the file and mounting it)
Thanks,
Dan
