Hi,
does anyone know if the 2.4.2 kernel does support loop devices - I mean
in the sense of - "It works" - I do have problems with processes like
mke2fs getting hung while accessing the loop without any error message.

I am not running 2.4.x on any other platform so i cant verify ...

Flo

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?
