Dear folks, Our server was unable to mount or umount loop devices mounting iso images; the same problem occurred in 2.4.2-pre[34] and 2.4.2: an absolute disaster for us; we had to reboot to another kernel just to make initrd images to boot off SCSI, let alone make software available to our staff and students. Now 2.4.2-ac5 works beautifully for us. Thank you to Jens Axboe, Andrea Arcangeli and Al Viro. And Alan for putting it together. -- Nick Urbanik, Dept. of Computing and Mathematics Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (852) 2436 8576, (852) 2436 8579 Fax: (852) 2435 1406 pgp ID: 7529555D fingerprint: 53 B6 6D 73 52 EE 1F EE EC F8 21 98 45 1C 23 7B - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
