[Peter Cheung]

Hi

    yes, it is a loopback device in mac,

/Users/peter>diskutil list

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *251.0 GB   disk0

   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1

   2:          Apple_CoreStorage Macintosh HD            250.1 GB   disk0s2

   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.1 MB   disk0s3

/dev/disk1 (internal, virtual):

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   0:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD           +249.8 GB   disk1

                                 Unlocked Encrypted

/dev/disk2 (disk image):

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        +104.9 MB   disk2

   1:                 DOS_FAT_32 A                       104.8 MB   disk2s1

This is my device.map:

/Users/peter>cat NetBeansProjects/PeterI/device.map 

(hd0) /dev/loop0

The device.map work in linux, no sure it is the problem or not.

thanks

from Peter
