Code change:
I tried to use a local volume block device in minikube. Its trying to call losetup with the -j option and its failing as the losetup in minikube does not provide this option. This may effect other distro's as well. The end result is lock block devices don't work on the platform.
/sig storage
Probably caused by this code:
Did a strace on losetup -j. looks like the same info can be had by: cat /sys/block/loop0/loop/backing_file
Just had the same problem with Ceph cluster creation in minikube, the osd-prepare doesn't start because of this:
FYI: has the same problem in minikube. Replacing the /sbin/losetup busybox link with a "real" losetup helped for now, but isn't a solution of course.
