What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/autoclear Date: Aug, 2010 KernelVersion: v2.6.37 Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Description: (RO) Shows if the device is in autoclear mode or not ( "1" or "0"). Autoclear (if set) indicates that the loopback device will self-distruct after last close. What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/backing_file Date: Aug, 2010 KernelVersion: v2.6.37 Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Description: (RO) The path of the backing file that the loop device maps its data blocks to. What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/offset Date: Aug, 2010 KernelVersion: v2.6.37 Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Description: (RO) Start offset (in bytes). What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/sizelimit Date: Aug, 2010 KernelVersion: v2.6.37 Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Description: (RO) The size (in bytes) that the block device maps, starting from the offset. What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/partscan Date: Aug, 2011 KernelVersion: v3.10 Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Description: (RO) Shows if automatic partition scanning is enabled for the device or not ("1" or "0"). This can be requested individually per loop device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN in in the ioctl request. By default, no partition tables are scanned. What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/dio Date: Aug, 2015 KernelVersion: v4.10 Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Description: (RO) Shows if direct IO is being used to access backing file or not ("1 or "0").
