Beagleboard as USB mass storage device

clipped from wh1t3s.com BeagleBoard as USB Mass Storage Device via USB OTG $ /sbin/losetup -o 16384 /dev/loop0 /home/root/fsbackfile $ mount /dev/loop0 /home/root/loopback $ ls /home/root/loopback services passwd ~passwd

Found on Wh1t3s blog details on how to configure a Linux kernel and shell scripts for the Beagleboard in order to make it appear as a "mass storage device"; the storage area is contained in a file.

Not only it will appear as a mountable "beagledrive" to the host; the Beagleboard can also manipulate the files contained in the area.
