Hi !
I have problems with the loop device. I run a script which creates a root-filesystem for a bootfloppy using the loop-device. The script creates a new file (dd from /dev/zero), syncs, creates a filesystem, syncs again and mounts the file using the loop-device. Now it starts to create the special files using MAKEDEV. And while MAKEDEV runs I get the following errors: (not allways, but if I run the script 5 times, chances are good that I get this at least once).
EXT2-fs error (device 07:00): ext2_find_entry: bad entry in directory #12: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT2-fs error (device 07:00): ext2_add_entry: bad entry in directory #12: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT2-fs error (device 07:00): ext2_find_entry: bad entry in directory #12: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT2-fs error (device 07:00): ext2_add_entry: bad entry in directory #12: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0

This is with kernel 1.3.77, the loop module gets loaded with kerneld. Newer kernels don't work at all, they hang my linux box completely (all disk-IO stops).
