Hello, A DAS box is attached to my linux box using LSI SCSI HBA. Volume is properly detected on the linux box and filesystem is created using mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc #No partition table
I can not mount the volume using mount/dev/sdc /mnt/temp -t ext3
But I can mount it using mount /dev/sdc /mnt/temp -t ext3 -o loop
Can anybody please tell me what "-o loop" option does internally? Has anybody faced this option before?
Thanks in advance, prashant
