How can I delete this loop0 device?
Hello,
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me to untangle this node. I have this external ssd device I used to copy a raw image, but now that it lies there as a loop device I need to delete it. I tried:losetup -d /dev/loop0 dmsetup remove -f /dev/sda1 dmsetup remove -f /dev/loop0
but no one of them worked.
Some info
They belong to the same device. df -h:/dev/sda 938G 32K 891G 1% /mnt/0 /dev/loop0 3.6G 24K 3.4G 1% /mnt/1
To get loop0 mounted I need to mount /dev/sda1. Therefore, /dev/sda1 is the backing file of the device /dev/loop0. sudo losetup -a:/dev/loop0: [0005]:3193 (/dev/sda1)
sudo dmsetup table:cryptswap: 0 33553407 crypt aes-xts-plain64 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0 259:1 1024
cat /proc/mounts | grep loop0:/dev/loop0 /mnt/1 ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
fuser -mv /dev/loop0:USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/loop0: root kernel mount /mnt/1
