Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org At this point, I'm trying to get an initrd working properly. So far, it works, the system boots, etc. etc., but whenever I try to do a "blockdev --flushbufs /dev/ram0", I get "device or resource busy" When I mount the filesystem to check it out, nothing appears to have anything open on the filesystem. So why am I not able to flush it clean? This is kernel 2.4.5 stock, btw. Kelledin
