As does mine. 'MAKEDEV loop' creates them all (at least, it did on my Debian
1.1 system).
This would allow your mount to look like:
mount -o loop=/dev/loop2 -t ext2

Hi all,
I have two disks on my PC, hda=127 MB and hdb=1.6 GB. I am using hda for
Debian, hdb is Win95.
I installed Debian on hda as a test and promptly fell in love with it.
Unfortunately I earn my living developing for Win 3.x/Win 95 and so cannot
easily repartition my main disk.

a filesystem. I would like to know how I can create say a 200MB file on hdb
(Win 95) and mount it as a filesystem on say /usr.
Is this possible? What do I need to do it?
You can create an iso9660 read only file system image file with mkisofs on
your win95 partition and then mount it
Partition Magic will repartition a DOS or win95 volume without destroying
data. It is also very easy to use.

I think Debian distributions normally provide FIPS but not the most recent

Just out of curiousity... does fips work with an NT file
Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions. I dowloaded FIPS and used it to repartition my
hard disk. I haven't found any problems yet.
Thanks

dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file bs=1k count=size
mke2fs /path/to/file size
mount -t ext2
The loop device is pretty nifty. I use it to maintain a root-disk
image used on a special-purpose diskless machine. To make changes to
the root disk, i mount the image, update the FS, unmount it, compress
it, and copy the compressed file to a floppy. Then i can bootstrap the
system from that

mount -t ext2 /path/to/file /mount/point
oops. That should be
mount -o loop -t ext2 /path/to/file /mount/point
And, don't forget to make sure that the loop devices have been created:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV loop

Use losetup(8) to associate the loop device with a file first, then
fsck, and then mount.
losetup /dev/loop0 /the/loopback/file
fsck -t ext2 /dev/loop0
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0
