2.4.4-pre7 worked fine. situation: mounting a remote nfs share or a loopback local filesystems doesn't work. it doesn't crash the system, the userspace process just hangs on the mount() call. all of these hang: # mount -o loop /my/ext2/image /mnt/ext2 # mount -o loop /my/fat16/image /mnt/fat16 # mount -o loop /my/iso9660/image /mnt/iso # mount other.system:/export /import mounting local drives works fine, as long as it isn't nfs - i can mount my ext2 and vfat drives, but not a local export on the same local machine. i can give strace output if desired. please help! thanks! joe - 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/
