create /dev/mapper/ devices from files

Asked by bryanlloydharris in Linux Administration, Linux, Linux Setup

Tags:

Hi,

I would like to create loopback devices in linux out of files I create on my own.  For example, if I have the file /home/bryan/file1.txt which is 10GiB I would like to create /dev/mapper/disk1 which is a 10GiB disk.

Is this possible?

/home/bryan/disk1.txt -> /dev/mapper/disk1Start Free Trial
