[PATCH 2/2] loopdev: Do not treat errors when detecting overlap as fatal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When looking for overlapping loop device we can fail getting some loop
device properties when we race with device autoclear. Just squelsh these
errors and try next loop device.
