Hi, > Can someone tell me where I should look for the kernel for the > loopback setting?
Quite exactly a year ago i learned the hard way that it's CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP which on amd64 should be set to "m" to get /dev/loop*. See its description at https://sources.debian.org/src/linux/5.10.46-1/drivers/block/Kconfig/#L174 But i'm somewhat puzzled by this statement at the end "Most users will answer N here." A code search yields no BLK_DEV_LOOP=n https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=package%3Alinux+BLK_DEV_LOOP%3Dn&literal=0 but lots of "y" and "m". (Wasn't there a way to inquire the running kernel's configuration ?) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I see that to...@tuxteam.de did not Cc you.
