Re: [Gluster-devel] Loop mounting

I've done loop mounting of ISO images from an older version of GlusterFS and Fuse 2.6.3. It worked, and I was able to copy files out.

"mount -r -o loop=/dev/loop0 /glusterfs/file.iso /mnt".

I don't think I've ever written to a loop mount in this manner, though.

Thanks,

Brent

Michael,
this seems to be a limitation of FUSE itself, because it is mmap()'ing a
file in read-write mode, which seems to have a problem in fuse. I will soon
confirm if this is the same cause.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had success with loop mounting a file stored on a glusterfs
volume?

address@hidden:/mnt/temp$ sudo losetup -f file.img
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument

I get this error but the same image works fine on an ext2 partition.

I've discussed this a little on the IRC room, and apparently it's being
investigated, but I figured I'd ask if anyone else has come up against it
and has a short-term solution.

Thanks everyone, esp. glusterfs devs ;)
