Hi,
I'm having trouble mounting a initrd image using loop device. the
CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP option in .config file of busybox is set and
mounting loop devices is enabled in my kernel (I'm using 2.6.32). then
I issue the following command :
mount /boot/initrdimg.img /mnt/img1/ -t ext2-o loop=/dev/loop0
and I get the following error:
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/img1/ failed: Invalid argument
** I'm also positive that loop0 and the mount point /mnt/img1 both exist
and here is the output of the strace command(the tail which contains
error and exists mount process , if I have to provide the whole output
please let me know):
....
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=256324, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 256324, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb75c7000
close(3) = 0
geteuid32() = 1000
write(2, "sudo", 4sudo) = 4
write(2, ": ", 2: ) = 2
write(2, "must be setuid root", 19must be setuid root) = 19
write(2, "\n", 1
) = 1
exit_group(1)
I've also tried several version of busybox but no luck so far, there
are also some similar posts on the mailing list which address problems
like mine but no definite solutions so far. any idea how I can mount a
loop device?
