[expert] Mounting ISO image on loopback device

[Robert Johansson]

Hi everyone!

I recently downloaded the mandrakefreq ISO and tried to mount it with
mount -o loop -t iso9660 <the iso> <my mount point>
What happens is that mount never exits. Pressing Ctrl-C won't help. I go
to another console and look in the mount point directory and nothing is
there. Also, at system shutdown/reboot the procedure stops at automount
and I have to do a magic SysRq S-U-B.
What could be the problem? If anyone knows a solution I'd be very
grateful!

cheers Robert
