Subject: loop hang in 2.4.2 solved in 2.4.2-ac5
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 22:10:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A9D06C7.6CEA9522@vtc.edu.hk> (raw)
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.
