Hello list,
i can't find any loop[0-7] devices in my /dev.
man MAKEDEV tells me:
...
STANDARD DEVICES
std Creates this group of standard devices: ...
The loopback disk devices loop0 through loop7 are also
created in the std group.
I thought a
cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV std
should create them but nothing happened.
Is there a special reason that there are no loop devices shipped with
the standard installation?
Security risk?
Kind regards
raina
