I believe this is a regression, as I reported it working correctly on 11.04 in an edit I made to the wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM) I'm downloading 11.04 and 11.10 to confirm.
>I agree it's perfectly reasonable to keep /isodevice mounted after boot toram in case the user wants something on there, No, that's not really good. It's better to clean things up fully. If the user unplugs and replugs, it'll show up in /media/FS_LABEL (/media/CORSAIR in my case). This is where the user should expect to find thumbdrives, not in /isodevice. After booting with toram, the device should be unmounted so it can be safetly pulled. If the user wants something on it, they should plug it back in. >Since yanking the device anyway doesn't cause any problems, Presumably the filesystem on your thumbdrive is FAT32. Other filesystems might not be so friendly without a clean unmount, but even FAT32 will be marked as dirty and request an fsck when next mounted. This can sometimes interfere with automount systems on various OSs/distros (had issues with this in the past on both WinXP and freebsd for sure, though not necessarily related to this bug). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010176 Title: casper toram doesn't free /dev/loop0 after copy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1010176/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
