Sorry, my English is ugly and mind is broken (final grammar school examination in 3 days, ouch...). It would be nice to be able to specify also "loop_sizes[dev]" value by similiar mount option as "offset" is. This would override the value obtained by figure_loop_size(). The whole change unfortunately requires modifications also in "mount" and "losetup".
Thanks, Jan Kratochvil
