I have VDS, where admins says that in latest versions of OpenVZ "/dev/loop" are disabled "due to security reassons" and can't be used from guest system at all.
I.e. if i do for example:
# losetup /dev/loop0 test_file
/dev/loop0: Operation not permitted
If i trying to mount truecrypt container, then:
# truecrypt -t --filesystem=none test_file /mnt/test
Error: Failed to set up a loop device:
Question is: if it indeed the case, and in latest versions i can't use /dev/loop anymore because of any reasons, how can i use "losetup" or "truecrypt" , but istead of /dev/loop use something else, which will fully mimic /dev/loop behaviors.
Thanks.
