I guess a disk image is considered a device (a loop
device), because that is how I use it. I have never
encrypted anything that begins with /dev.
A loopback mount creates a device. Example: mounting an ISO image
using "mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/isoimage.iso /mnt", then
running "mount" shows:
/dev/loop0 on /mnt type iso9660 (rw)
Good enough?
