This works if the loop was formatted with minix - mounts ok (I'm not sure why anuone would want ot format with minix, but there you go). mtab reports the permissions that are specified in the mount line for fat, although these have been ignored - the mount point directory has inherited root permissions from sudo mount. But mounting an ext2-formatted loop device fails. I put the s option in from of the others as follows: sudo mount -s -o [other options....] Is that correct? It didn't seem to work if I put it in with the fat options. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
