I'm guessing the kernel support for cloop is read only, WHY NOT READ/WRITE?
Is the knoppix cloop file read-only because it's on a CD, or by design?

Can a kernel with cloop support mount more than 1 cloop file?

The usefullness of cloop would be MUCH greater in both regards.
Can anyone tell us, can cloop be directly written to & can there be more than 1?

I'm going to put this on the Debian web site, if I get a reply I'll post it back here.
