Hi all,
My memory seems to remember that there was a way to create a loop device that not only does not start from the beginning of the file looped (which is possible using the losetup "-o" parameter), but also limits the kernel from reaching the very end of the file looped. Going over the kernel source reveals that the LOOP_SET_STATUS64 does, indeed, have a "sizelimit" field that seems to do exactly that. Going over the losetup sources, on the other hand, seems to show that the utility does not accept such a parameter, despite my memory telling me that it used to. If anyone can shed any light, it would be useful.
