NACK. block device driver should never ever play around with file operations themselves. If you want functionality like the one you have please don't overload the loop driver, but start a new (character) driver doing specificaly what you want. And even then I'm not sure we'd want functionality like this in the mainline tree, but at least we can have an open discussion if it's done properly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
