This adds symlinks that allow accessing loopback block devices via stable names that reference their backing block devices, make the unpredictable naming of loopback devices less of an issue. Example: 1. Create a loopback block device for a file $F losetup --find $F 2. Reference the backing block device via its inode: L="$(stat -c '/dev/loop/by-inode/%Hd:%Ld-%i' $F)" fdisk $L In the above the loop device name (which might be /dev/loop47 or any other name) is not used at all.
