Subjectloop device: ext2 errors

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

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).

Lost my .pinerc after a linux crash. Forgot to reconfigure my From: line. Sorry
If you got kraxel@felix.none.de bounced, retry kraxel@cs.tu-berlin.de. Thanks
