I want to mount a particular folder as /system.
I tried mount -t ext2 -o loop /sd-ext/rom/system /system
I get mount: mounting /sd-ext/rom/system /system failed: Block device required
Im using android, so im limited to android shell and busybox.
I’m not familiar with Android, but if you want to mount a directory instead of a device you have to use mount with the
--bindoption.If it’s really a file then maybe your Android has no loop device support. Do you have any
/dev/loop*devices?
