Re: tar block question

I think you can cut some steps

2. losetup -f
prints the name of the next available loop device, in my case it
was /dev/loop0

3. losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/filename

4. losetup /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: [0900]:8032956 (/path/to/filename)
to confirm things worked as expected

5. mkfs -t fstype /dev/loop0
use other options if desired, such as "-m 1" with ext3 for 1%
reserved block count instead of 5%.

You sould be able do run mkfs directly on the file without creating a
loop:

# mkfs -t ext3 /path/to/filename
mke2fs 1.41.1 (01-Sep-2008)
/path/to/filename is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y

6. mkdir /mnt/diskimg
or use /media/??? or ...

7. mount -t fstype /dev/loop0 /mnt/diskimg

The mount can be done with the loop option using the file as device:

# mount -t fstype -o loop /path/to/filename /mnt/diskimg
