Hi everybody,
could someone tell me, how to setup a loopback-filesystem.
I would like to put /usr/doc on my VFAT-disc, because of the symbolic
links this seems not to be possible.
As a proper solution i thougt of putting it into a single file
containing ext2fs.
At the very first point i did:
dd if=dev/zero of=mnt/vfat/usrdoc.fs bs=1024 count=16386
mke2fs /mnt/vfat/usrdoc.fs
mount /mnt/vfat/usrdoc.fs /usr/doc -o loopback
So far it does work, but after rebooting, i have to setup /dev/loop0
by losetup before mounting the file.
I would like to have it mounted automatically at booting, how have i
to setup /etc/fstab?
Thanks in advance

By the way, is it possible to have this file compressed online?
