Mounting self-made cloop file - how?

[DirkS]

Wrapping up.

root@Microknoppix:/media/sdd2# losetup --verbose --read-only /dev/cloop6 /media/sdd2/sda1_2017-03-04.cloop
root@Microknoppix:/media/sdd2# mount --verbose  /dev/cloop6 /media/sr0

also works in 7.7.1. Double Yay! So I have a solution for the newest Knoppix. Now I hope that it will still work in the upcoming Knoppix 8.

Is there a way to declare the thread as "solved"?

I suggest you PM Werner P. Schulz to see if this is possible.

Thanks, utu, I haven't done this yet, but I'm considering it.

Meanwhile I'm going through the mailing list and found something:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-knop.../msg00000.html - title: "losetup from 7.6.1 can't detach a cloop device" - sounds familiar, isn't it? Seems like this is caused by a change in losetup. Klaus Knopper posted an answer in which he mentioned that he filed a bug report and using the losetup of busybox should work. I can't test that right now, just leaving the info here so it will not get forgotten.
