  156. Writes to the virtual block device are not immediately written to the
  157. host's disk; this may cause problems if, for example, the User-Mode
  158. Linux 'Virtual Machine' uses a journalling filesystem and the host
  159. computer crashes.
  160. Synchronous operation (i.e. always writing data to the host's disk
  161. immediately) is configurable on a per-UBD basis by using a special
  162. kernel command line option. Alternatively, you can say Y here to
  163. turn on synchronous operation by default for all block devices.
  164. If you're running a journalling file system (like reiserfs, for
  165. example) in your virtual machine, you will want to say Y here. If
  166. you care for the safety of the data in your virtual machine, Y is a
  167. wise choice too. In all other cases (for example, if you're just
  168. playing around with User-Mode Linux) you can choose N.

  173. tristate "Loopback device support"
  174. ---help---
  175. Saying Y here will allow you to use a regular file as a block
  176. device; you can then create a file system on that block device and
  177. mount it just as you would mount other block devices such as hard
  178. drive partitions, CD-ROM drives or floppy drives. The loop devices
  179. are block special device files with major number 7 and typically
  180. called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc.
  181. This is useful if you want to check an ISO 9660 file system before
  182. burning the CD, or if you want to use floppy images without first
  183. writing them to floppy. Furthermore, some Linux distributions avoid
  184. the need for a dedicated Linux partition by keeping their complete
  185. root file system inside a DOS FAT file using this loop device
  186. driver.
  187. To use the loop device, you need the losetup utility, found in the
  188. util-linux package, see
  189. <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.
  190. The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in
  191. a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption
  192. (scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low
  193. bits of, say, a sound file). This is also safe if the file resides
  194. on a remote file server.
  195. There are several ways of encrypting disks. Some of these require
  196. kernel patches. The vanilla kernel offers the cryptoloop option
  197. and a Device Mapper target (which is superior, as it supports all
  198. file systems). If you want to use the cryptoloop, say Y to both
  199. LOOP and CRYPTOLOOP, and make sure you have a recent (version 2.12
  200. or later) version of util-linux. Additionally, be aware that
  201. the cryptoloop is not safe for storing journaled filesystems.
  202. Note that this loop device has nothing to do with the loopback
  203. device used for network connections from the machine to itself.
  204. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
