I had to tweak this patch just a bit more to get it fully working. It used to let you create a loop label, which had no partition, then when you created a partition, it wiped out the loop signature. Now it implicitly creates the loop partition if you either have the loop label signature, or a raw filesystem signature, and thus, has to leave the signature intact, even if you have a partition, which may or may not have a valid filesystem signature, depending on whether or not you actually format a filesystem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSv7JKAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwrnQIAJJ0lRnELDG+RUeB4JknkkPU YfkCeQXONrQ0/VUiIeCedA3PbLvPCo0T1aIHd7URp5T/Im4p2LAt4DqF98m7ih2f xbWkrMo7Tww5y06qneOphazzCOHx0/o95z2NSCNu6bDDZ+QLL/MXrOXkFhId3yR8 BFbOvUQBfMP/9oRNirvwDBRxCO9ZdZDP23tPRlrdsvau7hvZCiSWRlQVeUHHtdD7 k4LvHMlHSDIdwc5a2+Eehblb0C2KS+H2f7QUeO26glxmNNvhf1mNEWRE7l9T4Phq 54g9UDaF+Bny4qJoN1bTrKJVdj9y4wRigAZ40QPhTWgNmoPfcvxPFnZCsb/Cfpw= =yO/a -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
