I can't access my /etc/mtab and /etc/ffserver.conf files even when i'm logged in as root. I made sure the /etc directory is accessible (755) and i cd'd and even ls'd to the /etc directory to make sure. I couldn't figure out the owner of /etc/mtab and /etc/ffserver.conf file because i can't run ls on it -- returned a "Permission denied" error. My Debian system is in an image file (deb.img) inside a partition (/Arc) mounted with the noexec option. The deb.img file is mounted as a reiserfs via the loop option on the /mnt/deb directory. Thus, the files that i can't access are actually the /mnt/deb/etc/mtab and /mnt/deb/etc/ffserver.conf files(relative to my Slackware system). After logging in as root in my Slackware system tho, i still can't access those files.
Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do with this anymore. Is this a bug in Debian or in Linux? If it's a problem in the kernel, where should i report it and what info should i include? I know my setup's inefficient, but i'm just playing around. I would really appreciate any help you can offer.
