Ok, I have managed to reproduce this problem (at least partially) by changing the order of filesystem preferences in /etc/fstab - listing iso9660,udf instead of udf,iso9660, when the image is indeed iso9660.
/home/ubuntu/raring-desktop-amd64.iso /mnt/starcraft iso9660,udf user,loop 0 0 In this case, mountall mounts it, then remounts it twice more, then exits. So the infinite loop may be related to having multiple loopback filesystems in /etc/fstab. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087951 Title: mountall 100% cpu ussage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1087951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
