I've been playing with creating a filesystem in a file, mounting it with the loopback device, copying files to it, and then unmounting it. In the process of doing this, the directory acting as the mount point has become corrupted: % ls -l /mnt br-xr-S-wx 0 root root 0, 0 Jan 1 1970 /mnt
The loopback filesystem was an ext2 filesystem in a file consisting mostly of holes (until I filled it up).
I haven't yet been able to recreate the situation.
In trying to use /dev/loop0 again, I received the error: ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Device or resource busy The 'df' and 'mount' commands insist that /mnt isn't mounted, though /proc/mounts lists it as being mounted. It seems that there was some confusion on unmounting it.
