Hi, I confirm Peter's observations:

This is the correct setup to trigger the bug. And the commit 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d has nothing to do with this bug. It was bad luck that i couldn't trigger the bug with said commit reverted (in my tests, the second boot with the reverted commit missed the first mount/umount smaller cd step, so...) So sorry for all the mess and stress. I'm glad that Peter found the real nature of this bug. mfg thomas -- 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/
