Righto, unless somebody comes with some talks, you'll have to listen to me
talk about yum and rpms.

The horrible, O(n) way is to just to loop over 0 .. n, see if it doesn't
exist, if it doesn't then create and use it.
It's slow, it's racy (ie, don't run the script without locking :-) but
it's a traditional UNIX way of doing things.
PTYs were once allocated that way, fe. :-)

Great!
I was unfamiliar with readlink's ability. That'll work well.
Thanks

# Setup loop device and grab it's name
LOOP_DEV=`sudo losetup --show --find /home/$UNIQUE_NAME/source`

If I want to dynamically create loop devices, how would I dynamically
create loop device minor numbers in some way, from a shell script,
eg.:
# setup:
UNIQUE_NAME=unique_login_name
LOOP_DEV=/dev/loop/$UNIQUE_NAME
MINOR_NUMBER=some_hash_or_what_???
mknod $LOOP_DEV b 7 $MINOR_NUMBER

You just gotta love that SRware
If you look forward to a day or otherwise meeting with an icon, rms,
you might email him direct given the short notice:
rms -AT- gnu.org
and you may wish to CC myself too, as I expect to speak with him, and
will pass on your request/ intent if so.

I'm now subscribed. Not sure if I had to be, apologies if repeat email.
Would anyone who is with vehicle, like to cheauffer Richard Stallman
to the Blue Mountains, from City, tomorrow, or possibly Monday,
bearing in mind that he is due to speak at UNSW early Monday evening,
at 5:30 for 6pm start.

Hi,
A few things come to mind.

What does `fdisk -lu` say? Do you have appropriate access to /media
(ls -ld /media)?

You might like to check out SW Iron instead of Chrome, it is the same
thing but without the many Google tracking devices built-in:
