Offtopic - no, but you are confusing things a bit - the loopback device creates a block device from a file. A filesystems is needed to mount a directory elsewhere on the machine. Luckily, I've written one (get ftp://dot.superaje.com/pub/linux/lofs-2.0.30.diff). Just remember that most of the time this is an ugly hack that can be avoided w/symlinks & such, but it has valid uses (chroot is *very* useful w/lofs). So just do a 'mount -t lofs -o dir=/somewhere/in/hd/space /somewhere/in/hd/space /somewhere/else'
