Negative offset may cause loop device size larger than backing file size. $ fallocate -l 1M a $ losetup --offset 0xffffffffffff0000 /dev/loop0 a $ blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0 1114112 $ ls -l a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1048576 Jan 23 12:46 a $ cat /dev/loop0 cat: /dev/loop0: Input/output error It makes no sense to do that. Only apply offset when it's positive. Fix a typo in the comment by the way.
