losetup: loopimage.img: No such file or directory

[halma]

Hi, i hope this is the right section to post

i am using tinycorelinux 5.3 (3.14.5-tinycore64)

i try to mount an loop image file with losetup but it fails with

tc@box: sudo losetup -f hdc.img -o 32256
losetup: hdc.img: No such file or directory

sometimes i dont know why i can mount the loop image without deleting any other loop device but most of times if i try it fails as written above

here is an strace of losetup
maybe someone knows how to fix this issue

Use the losetup in util-linux.

ok i installed with tce the util-linux.tcz extension

after an reboot it tells me now:

tc@box: losetup -f -o 32256 hdc.img
losetup: not found unused device

and as sudo
tc@box: sudo losetup -f -o 32256 hdc.img
losetup: hdc.img: failed to setup loop device: No such file or directory

Try adding "loop.max_loop=255" boot code to pre-configure the dev nodes.

i think this one works without changing anyting:

sudo /usr/local/sbin/losetup -o 32256 -f hdc.img

Check your $PATH variable.  /usr/local/sbin should be before /sbin.
If you loaded util-linux after booting, you may need to do a "hash -r" so ash does not pick up a previously run losetup instead of the newer one.

Awesome this worked adding it to uEnv.txt, thanks!
