# Usage: ./script.sh arg1
#
# Arg1: the number of the loopback device to create
#       (must be a number that does not match the entries under
#       /dev/loop<N>)
#
# e.g.: if `ls /dev` shows /dev/loop{0,1,2}, here you can
#       use something like `10`.
#
# ps.: it depends on `btrfs-tools` and must be run as root.
