Loop issue on 17.10

[Elax]

Hi,

I've been running 14.04 LTS for a while now and decided to go to 17.10

I've got everything installed, but the one thing I can't seem to get right is mounting folders in different places using loopback.

For example

sudo mount -o loop /mnt/3tb/src /opt/dev/src

gets me

mount: /opt/dev/src: failed to setup loop device for /mnt/3tb/src

I used to do this all the time to pull folders on different drives into one place for samba access, but can't seem to get it going now.

Any ideas out there?

Never mind. I needed use bind, not loop :doh:

mount --bind src dest
