[Moosefs-users] Loop devices?

[Scoleri, S. <Sco...@gs...>]

I think this is more a function/disability of fuse but has anyone found
a work around or figured out a way to use a loop  dev like one created
with losetup on a moosefs?

 

This is probably related, what about tap:aio for virtual block devs?
Seems many of the linux distro vendors are writing all VM Guest creation
code and defaulting to back dev as a tap:aio device instead of file or
even giving you an option of file.  For example virt-install that comes
with Redhat.

 

I've been searching for a way to do this for sometime.  file type back
devs for VMs work just fine.

 

Thanks,
