Hi, I've got good news: 1. It has nothing to do with squashfs, more with the readonly loopback device 2. The Problem is with an old version of uclibc 3. It's already fixed in the latest version of uclibc. 4. Everybody who cannot update uclibc, can use mknod of klibc Best Regards Markus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
