    There's some confusion -- that lofs in IRIX is nothing like Linux lofs.

    All it does is mount part of a local filesystem via something like
    an NFS mount through localhost, but with faster semantics.

    It does not mount filesystems stored in a file on another filesystem.

    If I have seen further, it is by standing on reference manuals.
