  166. Writes to the virtual block device are not immediately written to the

  168. Linux 'Virtual Machine' uses a journalling filesystem and the host
  169. computer crashes.
  170. Synchronous operation (i.e. always writing data to the host's disk
  171. immediately) is configurable on a per-UBD basis by using a special
  172. kernel command line option. Alternatively, you can say Y here to
  173. turn on synchronous operation by default for all block devices.
  174. If you're running a journalling file system (like reiserfs, for
  175. example) in your virtual machine, you will want to say Y here. If
  176. you care for the safety of the data in your virtual machine, Y is a
  177. wise choice too. In all other cases (for example, if you're just

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

  409. The block-device backend driver allows the kernel to export its

  420. will be called xen-blkback.
