Ok, so you are doing it the right way. I just browsed the kernel sources. losetup starts for each loop device a kernel thread "loop_thread". I assume this is the point of failure.
These kernel threads certainly should get be killed by losetup -d. I suppose in your setup they aren't, either because the loop devices are still in use or there's a bug in the kernel you are using. I suggest asking for advice on lkml. Best regards, Matthias Brian Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > My /etc/mtab is a real file, not a link.
