[Gllug] diskdumpctl block device

[Ben Fitzgerald]

Hi,

if I want to configure diskdumpctl to dump to a block device and my disk
is already fully partitioned, is there any way I can do this without
manipulating the partition table? Can I use a file as a block device?
I tried creating a 100M file and then associating this with /dev/loop0
using losetup but diskdumpctl would not support this.

ps don't say "add another disk" or "you should have used lvm (I know!!!)" :-)

Thanks,

Ben.
