The loop devices + are block special device files with major number 7 and typically + called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc. + + This is useful if you want to check an ISO 9660 file system before + burning the CD, or if you want to use floppy images without first + writing them to floppy. Furthermore, some Linux distributions avoid + the need for a dedicated Linux partition by keeping their complete + root file system inside a DOS FAT file using this loop device + driver. + + To use the loop device, you need the losetup utility, found in the + util-linux package, see + <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>. + + The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in + a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption + (scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low + bits of, say, a sound file). This is also safe if the file resides + on a remote file server. + + Note that this loop device has nothing to do with the loopback + device used for network connections from the machine to itself. + + To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the + module will be called loop. + + Most users will answer N here. + +config BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT + int "Number of loop devices to pre-create at init time" + depends on BLK_DEV_LOOP + default 8 + help + Static number of loop devices to be unconditionally pre-created + at init time. + + This default value can be overwritten on the kernel command + line or with module-parameter loop.max_loop. + + The historic default is 8.
