Hello, I am trying to mount /boot/initrd-2.6X file using a loop back device. I am facing the following problem. Steps which I have executed: 1. cp /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img /tmp 2. mkdir /tmp/init 3. cd /tmp 4. mv /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img.gz 5. gunzip /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img.gz 6. mount /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img /tmp/init -o loop For this mount I am getting error saying ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy mount: you must specify the filesystem type I am using Fedora Core 4. What may be the problem? Thanks and regards, Mallikarjuna C
