Assuming it works the same as crypto loop you will need to create a file. Then |
| 16 |
link a compressed loopback device with it say /dev/loop0. Then you need to |
| 17 |
create a filesystem on the loopback device with mke2fs /dev/loop0 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then you can "mount /dev/loop /mnt/mymountpoint" |
