  191. Linux 'Virtual Machine' uses a journalling filesystem and the host
  192. computer crashes.
  193. Synchronous operation (i.e. always writing data to the host's disk
  194. immediately) is configurable on a per-UBD basis by using a special
  195. kernel command line option. Alternatively, you can say Y here to
  196. turn on synchronous operation by default for all block devices.
  197. If you're running a journalling file system (like reiserfs, for
  198. example) in your virtual machine, you will want to say Y here. If
  199. you care for the safety of the data in your virtual machine, Y is a

  219. config BLK_DEV_LOOP
  220. tristate "Loopback device support"
  221. ---help---
  222. Saying Y here will allow you to use a regular file as a block
  223. device; you can then create a file system on that block device and
  224. mount it just as you would mount other block devices such as hard
  225. drive partitions, CD-ROM drives or floppy drives. The loop devices
  226. are block special device files with major number 7 and typically
  227. called /dev/loop0, /dev/loop1 etc.
  228. This is useful if you want to check an ISO 9660 file system before
  229. burning the CD, or if you want to use floppy images without first
  230. writing them to floppy. Furthermore, some Linux distributions avoid
  231. the need for a dedicated Linux partition by keeping their complete
  232. root file system inside a DOS FAT file using this loop device
  233. driver.
  234. To use the loop device, you need the losetup utility, found in the
  235. util-linux package, see
  236. <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.
  237. The loop device driver can also be used to "hide" a file system in
  238. a disk partition, floppy, or regular file, either using encryption
  239. (scrambling the data) or steganography (hiding the data in the low
  240. bits of, say, a sound file). This is also safe if the file resides
  241. on a remote file server.
  242. There are several ways of encrypting disks. Some of these require
  243. kernel patches. The vanilla kernel offers the cryptoloop option
  244. and a Device Mapper target (which is superior, as it supports all
  245. file systems). If you want to use the cryptoloop, say Y to both
  246. LOOP and CRYPTOLOOP, and make sure you have a recent (version 2.12
  247. or later) version of util-linux. Additionally, be aware that
  248. the cryptoloop is not safe for storing journaled filesystems.
  249. Note that this loop device has nothing to do with the loopback
  250. device used for network connections from the machine to itself.

  252. module will be called loop.

  272. block devices, i.e. it will be able to use block devices exported by
  273. servers (mount file systems on them etc.). Communication between
  274. client and server works over TCP/IP networking, but to the client
  275. program this is hidden: it looks like a regular local file access to
  276. a block device special file such as /dev/nd0.
  277. Network block devices also allows you to run a block-device in
  278. userland (making server and client physically the same computer,
  279. communicating using the loopback network device).
