Hi all, Scenario: I placed one disk image (image.dd) on a NTFS volume (it's the only partition where I have some available space) and my idea was to first mount NTFS partition as /mnt/ntfs, and afterwards mounting /mnt/ntfs/image.dd (ext3) with loop device. I'm getting the following error at the second mount command: ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument I googled a bit and it seems to be some kind of incompatibility between NTFS driver and loop device, as I read in a former thread at lk-ml (but it didn't clarify how to solve the problem). I tried with a Debian 2.4.18 kernel, but I guess the problem persists on every 2.4.x. Did you manage to solve this? I wouldn't mind to switch to an experimental kernel branch, if necessary, since the machine I'm going to use is not in a production environment. Please, specify clearly with exact version of the kernel should I download and necessary patches (if any).
