Hey Guys,
I have a program that uses the loop devices. However I originally was
finding the free one with:
'losetup -f'. Which returns the next free loop device. :D However, I
found that some of the other distros
have a version of losetup that does not include that switch. So I am
trying to work up another way to get the
next device.
What I'm figuring is doing 'losetup -a', parsing the returned data, and
incrementing it by one...
However I don't know how to accomplish this. An example 'losetup -a'
would be like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [fd00]:11305639 (enc)
/dev/loop1: [fd00]:11306533 (/home/nmcbride/Desktop/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso)
Can anyone give me a hand?
I for one have no idea how this relates to Python. If others do then
they are likely to help you.
