Thanks. Any reason umount would not do that automatically though? > > Read mount(8), the places where losetup is mentioned. I compiled my system from scratch following the guide of the LFS. LFS recommends that you create a symbolic link from /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab. After reading the mount man page, that seems to be my problem. mtab shouldnt be a symlink. Thanks for the help. I'm going to e-mail the LFS mailing list about their mtab symlink now - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
