filesystem mounting problem
- by user306988
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
