Known problem. Go ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/axboe and take the latest loop-? patch from there. Let Jens Axboe know if it works or if you still have problems. Particularry, if you can reliably reproduce the problem you referred. I hear the patch should get merged to 2.4.1ac soon. > Please CC replies to this email-address: > zole@diamondhead.hesbynett.no > As I'm not currently subscribed to the linux kernel mailing-list. :-) And, your address zole@diamondhead.hesbynett.no does not work.
