[Bug 825503] New: libstorage doesn't handle /dev/loop* absence properly

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825503 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825503#c0 Summary: libstorage doesn't handle /dev/loop* absence properly Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.1 Milestone 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: fehr@suse.com ReportedBy: fcrozat@suse.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- when creating a loopback based crypted storage point using yast partitionner, creation fails because there is no /dev/loop0 created by default. This is because /dev/loop[0-4] aren't created anymore by default, until "loop" module is loaded (which is not the case by default). /dev/loop-control is always created and will handle "loop" module autoload and /dev/loop? creation (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/26/148 ). To work "nicely", losetup should be called as : "losetup -f " instead of "losetup /dev/loop0 " This issue is present in both 12.3 and Factory -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
