Attach a loopback block device

Overview

[email protected] is a template service that may be used to automatically attach a loopback block device at boot (or later). Its instance string may reference an (escaped) file system path pointing to a disk image to attach as loopback block device. Use systemd-escape(1)'s --path to properly escape a file system path.

This unit invokes systemd-dissect --attach --quiet --loop-ref-auto on the specified files, see systemd-dissect(1) for details.

From systemd 262.1-1 in Arch Linux 2026-11-01. Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
