I saw a post dated last fall 2000 sometime about the loop device hanging
when copying large amounts of data to a file mounted as, say, ext2fs. It
was in regard to kernel 2.4.0test-something.
I have the latest 2.4.0 kernel loaded on my system and this bug appears
to be there, although I have seen other notes that claim that it is
fixed.
Can anyone confirm whether this bug is "officially" known to be in the
official 2.4.0 kernel? Currently I have to reboot to 2.2.17 to do my
CD-RW backups.
Thanks.
