https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449646 Summary: mount endless loop hang Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dmueller@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Hi, when /dev/loop0 is used on an image where the underlying filesystem got unmounted, any further mount command is hanging in a busy loop. thats because it tries to find the first free loop device by running the ioctl LOOP_GET_STATUS and sees if it returns with an error. any error is interpreted as that the loop device is useable. this is not the case in the scenario above, which then causes it to over-and-over select the same loop device. my patch makes it select the loop device to be only available if the error code is ENXIO. already submitted to done/STABLE. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
