The losetup provides an -f option to discover an unused loop device. As implemented, it is racy. The problem is that -f prints the loop device to stdout only when used standalone. This means a script has to do: lodev=$(losetup -f) losetup $lodev $filename which is racy if another script may be running. This patch add a new option '-s'. The '-s' option prints device name if the -f option and a file argument are present. For example: lodev=$(losetup -f -s $filename) Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> |
