This should be fixed, because when you boot an ISO file from your hard drive and load Ubuntu to RAM, you are not able to do any repartitioning, installing etc to the hard drive from where the ISO was loaded from when it stays mounted. I have tested this on a Ubuntu installation with LVM hard drive and once I applied the changes to the initrd file of the Ubuntu ISO, then I was able to successfully run the following commands:
losetup -d /dev/loop0 umount /isodevice After that I was able to repartition the hard drive and install Ubuntu from RAM to hard drive. But this adds too much complexity to the end user if needing to unpack the ISO file and then modify initrd if needing to use Ubuntu like this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684280 Title: casper toram forgets to disconnect loop device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/684280/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
