kernelnotes.org down / loop device results
Hiya, Just a few quickies One, is kernelnotes.org down ? .. I can't get to it (times out), I've tried from a few boxes on different networks just incase it was on my end .. (since I've compiled ecn in, MANY things don't seem to be working ... even the best search engine in the world .. dogpile, doesn't work .. grr) .. enough of that. Loop device: I know there was a thread on here awhile ago about problems with it or something ... dyndns shut down the domain I was using to subscribe here (penguinpowered.com) so I didn't catch the whole thread Problems (Are they related or am I on crack here?): If I make an image of a floppy: # dd if=/dev/fd0 of=32xCDRomBootDisk.bin bs=32k then try to mount the image (no errors on the floppy): # mount 32xCDRomBootDisk.bin /mnt/nt -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop3 Mount hangs ... what do I mean by that? .. well: # killall -9 mount # killall -9 mount # ps -eaux |grep mount root 9719 0.0 1.3 6024 2152 ?SApr30 0:00 /sbin/mount.smbfs root 12245 0.0 0.9 1472 1472 ?DL 14:41 0:00 mount /mnt/Mount_this_you_whore root 12342 0.0 0.9 1472 1472 pts/36 DL 14:50 0:00 mount 32xCDRomBoo root 12604 0.0 0.3 1520 608 pts/4S15:30 0:00 grep mount PWD=/m The two mouts are STILL running! ... and acutally, I started writting this email eairly this morning ... yet even now, at almost 10pm EST, those procs are still there.

I know there was a thread on here about the loop device, but again, I didn't follow it all, and even now as I check again to see if kernelnotes,org is up, it still isn't.
