Package: mount Version: 2.13.1.1-1 Severity: normal
`mount -o loop' runs out of loop devices when /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts. I know it's documented in mount(8), but please consider that lenny/squeeze have moved to the setup where /etc/mtab is symlinked (only new Lenny installs though). The changes are documented in the following bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494001. $ls -l /etc/mtab lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Май 30 23:07 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts $dd if=/dev/zero of=img bs=10240 count=10 10+0 records in 10+0 records out 102400 bytes (102 kB) copied, 0,000302873 s, 338 MB/s $mkfs.ext2 img mke2fs 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) img is not a block special device.
