Thanks much, No, this is the command I used: mount -o loop disk mnt I think this looks interesting: EXT3-fs error (device loop0) in ext3_reserve_inode_write: IO failure The code in ext3_reserve_inode_write() is here: err = ext3_journal_get_write_access(handle, iloc->bh); if (err) { brelse(iloc->bh); iloc->bh = NULL; } Maybe it should do something different here? But I don't know :-) Thanks for helping out!
