You can try if such things are possible: [root@obiwan root]# losetup /dev/loop0 loop: can't get info on device /dev/loop0: No such device or address [root@obiwan root]# touch /tmp/dummy [root@obiwan root]# losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/dummy [root@obiwan root]# losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/loop0: [0306]:228124 (/tmp/dummy) offset 0, undefined encryption [root@obiwan root]# losetup -d /dev/loop0 [root@obiwan root]# losetup /dev/loop0 loop: can't get info on device /dev/loop0: No such device or address -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://www.frozen-bubble.org/
