| H A D | loop.c | e03c8dd1 Tue Aug 23 13:12:04 CDT 2011 Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> loop: always allow userspace partitions and optionally support automatic scanning
Automatic partition scanning can be requested individually per loop
device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN. By default, no
partition tables are scanned.
Userspace can now always add and remove partitions from all loop
devices, regardless if the in-kernel partition scanner is enabled or
not.
The needed partition minor numbers are allocated from the extended
minors space, the main loop device numbers will continue to match the
loop minors, regardless of the number of partitions used.
