NAME
       lofi - Loopback file driver

DESCRIPTION
       The  lofi file driver exports a file as a block device, enabling system
       utilities such as fstyp(8), fsck(8) and mount(8) to operate on underly‐
       ing file system images (including CD-ROM images) contained on the block
       device. Reads and writes to the block device are  translated  to  reads
       and writes on the exported file. See lofiadm(8) for examples.


       Either  a labeled or an unlabeled device can be created while exporting
       a file as a block device. As compared to an  unlabeled  device,  it  is
       easier  to  access  partitions  and  slices on the disk image file with
       labeled device.


       For  an  unlabeled  device,  block  device  entries  are  contained  in
       /dev/lofi  The  /dev/rlofi  file contains the character (or raw) device
       assigned through lofiadm(8).


       For a labeled device, block device entries are  contained  in  /dev/dsk
       while  raw  device  entries  are under /dev/rdsk. As with normal disks,
       entries are named in cXtYd0 form by lofiadm(8).


       When created, these device entries are owned by root, in group sys, and
       have permissions of 0600. Ownership, group, and permission settings can
       be altered, however there may be ramifications. See lofiadm(8) for more
       information.


       lofi devices can be compressed. See lofiadm(8) for more information.


       Files  exported  through lofi can also be encrypted. See lofiadm(8) for
       details on how to specify encryption keys.


       Normally, one file can be exported as only one block device. However, a
       removable  block device can be created so that one file can be exported
       through multiple block devices at the same time  in  a  read-only  way.
       Also, one removable device can be used to export different file at dif‐
       ferent time. See lofiadm(8) for details  on  how  to  create  removable
       devices.

NOTES
       Just as you would not directly access a disk device  that  has  mounted
       file  systems,  you  should  not  access a file associated with a block
       device except through the lofi file driver.


       For compatibility purposes, a raw device  is  also  exported  with  the
       block device. (For example, newfs(8)).
