I have stumbledon the following and got my loop devices, let see if the rescue
disk will work.
[1] Background information
This (using MAKEDEV) was for a hoary system
For a Dapper system the loop devices will disappear in the next reboot.
This because dapper uses udev which creates devices in a much more dynamic way
than it is done in hoary which uses devfs.
For dapper there are two ways to have all loop devices at bootup.
1) As recommended in /usr/share/doc/udev/README.gz:
- It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices directory to place
device nodes and symlinks in, which are copied to /dev at every boot.
That way, nodes for broken subsystems or devices which can't be
detected automatically by the kernel, will always be available.
So open a terminal and become root.
Go to the /lib/udev/devices/loop/ directory.
(A 'ls -l' shold show a device 0)
Create the new loop devices from 1 to 7 by typing:
mknod 1 b 7 1
mknod 2 b 7 2
mknod 3 b 7 3
mknod 4 b 7 4
mknod 5 b 7 5
mknod 6 b 7 6
mknod 7 b 7 7
Restart udev by typing:
/etc/init.d/udev restart
You now should see the new devices by typing:
ls -lR /dev/loop*
2) An entry in /etc/udev/links.conf
Start gedit as root, press <Alt>+<F2> and type:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/links.conf
Paste the following:
# hack to have loop devices from loop/0 to loop/7
M loop/1 b 7 1
M loop/1 b 7 1
M loop/2 b 7 2
M loop/3 b 7 3
M loop/4 b 7 4
M loop/5 b 7 5
M loop/6 b 7 6
M loop/7 b 7 7
Save the file.
Restart udev from a terminal by typing (as root):
/etc/init.d/udev restart
You now should see the new devices by typing:
ls -lR /dev/loop*
