Failed to create /dev/loop0p* entries for partitions inside loopback devices
...y one know why? and how to fix/workaround it?
The steps to duplicate is pretty simple
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/deleteme bs=1M count=100
losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/deleteme
fdisk /dev/loop0?? ## created partitions 1, 2, etc.
fdisk -l /dev/loop0? ## confirmed that the partitions do exist
mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop0p1 ## failed here, the error prompt says that the /dev/loop0p1 doesn't exist!
ls /dev/loop0p*? ## no entries
Please shed a light here, I'm running centos 6.4
Thanks.
