"nodev" means a filesystem is a pseudo-filesystem which does not need a block device. Squashfs like all other disk based filesystems (i.e. ext3) requires a block device, and so it doesn't have "nodev". > > > I have /dev/loop, /dev/loop0,...,/dev/loop7. A device entry in /dev doesn't actually mean your kernel has support for the device. I expect your kernel doesn't have loopback device support. Cat "/proc/devices", under "Block devices:" you should see "7 loop", i.e. Block devices: 1 ramdisk 3 ide0 7 loop 9 md 11 sr 22 ide1 253 device-mapper 254 mdp If you don't see it, check your kernel config and make sure loopback devices is configured. If it is built as a module, make sure it is inserted.
