2.3.40 loop-device-behaviour

[Ralf Burger]

hi all,

the loop-device in this kernel shows a little bit strange behaviour:

this script works fine since a long time
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/fsfile bs=1k count=4000
mkfs.minix  /tmp/fsfile 4000
mount -t minix -o loop /tmp/fsfile /mnt/fd2
----------------------------------------------------------------------

but with a 2.3.40-kernel it results in:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
csb:/usr/src/linux # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/fsfile bs=1k count=4000
4000+0 records in
4000+0 records out
csb:/usr/src/linux # mkfs.minix  /tmp/fsfile 4000
1344 inodes
4000 blocks
Firstdatazone=46 (46)
Zonesize=1024
Maxsize=268966912

csb:/usr/src/linux # mount -t minix -o loop /tmp/fsfile /mnt/fd2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       or too many mounted file systems
----------------------------------------------------------------------


loop.o is loaded and minix is supported

lsmod 
Module                  Size  Used by
loop                    7280   0 

mount
/dev/fd0 on /mnt/fd0 type minix (rw)


regards
