I was surprised that running
mount/losetup --all --verbose
results in usage().
As -a is the option to list all used loop devices,
one might think that -v adds some more info to the output.
Neither --help nor the man pages nor the info page tells
that -a doesn't accept other options:
mount/lomount.c (line 1133):
} else if (all) {
if (argc > 2)
usage(stderr);
Should we work on this?
If it's not possible to output more information with
-v, then it would maybe make sense to ignore it, right?
Have a nice day,
Berny

The verbose option is quite broken, yes.

I'm actually rewriting this tool to make use of our new loop library.
I'll address this issue here as well, thanks for the heads up.

Fixed. losetup -a -v works now.
