Forgot to tell: my mount is from util-linux-2.11z-r8 package. I used to have util-linux-2.something and it had the same bug. I have also tested 2.4 kernel, it does no thelp. Now I run 2.6.0-test11 kernel.
umm, arent you supposed to do loop=/dev/loop0 or something ?
the temp/ directory does exist right? (it probably does, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
Nah, his mount command is fine - I do though think the temp/ might not exist as Seemant commented, or some weirdness there abouts. Can you please do (if temp/ really do exist): # strace -ff -e open mount -vv -o loop -t iso9660 fdbootcd.iso temp/ and attach the log. Remember to emerge strace if you do not have it already merged ...
Hi! temp exists: Here's cut'n paste from ls and strace: root /home/tkn# ls -la temp/ total 6 drwxr-xr-t 2 tkn users 48 Jan 8 20:09 . drwx------ 90 tkn users 5272 Jan 8 20:12 .. root /home/tkn# strace -ff -e open mount -vv -o loop -t iso9660 fdbootcd.iso temp/ open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/dev/null", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 open("/dev/loop0", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 mount: going to use the loop device /dev/loop0 open("fdbootcd.iso", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 open("/dev/loop0", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4 open("/proc/crypto/cipher/(null)-cbc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) set_loop(/dev/loop0,fdbootcd.iso,0): success mount: setup loop device successfully open("/dev/loop0", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 del_loop(/dev/loop0): success mount: Not a directory ------------
Hi! I just downloaded another .iso image AND mounted it succesfully. So this bug only shows itself with some iso files. Example of iso img which reveals bug: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/beta9rc1/fdbootcd.iso Just try to mount that on loop dev and you will (propably) see same error as I do.
try util-linux-2.12b if that fails, please post an URL to an iso which fails with 2.12b (the one you posted is gone now :/)
