There is no extra configuration needed. All [IDE?] and [PARTITION?]
entries are exported this way, although the latter have only very
limited
value due to the forced boot block, so you can't create
partitions on it
and you will have problems to loop mount the disk images on the
host.
That's not true - the [PARTITION] was introduced to actually
SIMPLIFY
the loop mount!
Just a comment about the loop mount:
I've introduced in linux 2.6.26 a patch allowing to manage
partitions with
loop:
you must load loop modules with a new parameter giving the maximum
number of
partitions per loop:
# rmmod loop
# modprobe loop max_part=63
and then you can:
# losetup -f my_disk.img
# mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt
etc...
Alternatively, you use kpartx, which uses the device mapper to create
partitions on any device.
