I've core2ram.flg and tcz2ram.flg on my tce dir but when I try to umount the device linux says that the device is busy

[jls]

infact when tpye ps I see 7 processes running : loop0 1 2 3..

[roberts]

I can't reproduce. I just now added core2ram.flg in my tce directory as well as tcz2ram.flg, rebooted and do not see any loop devices mounted.

Perhaps, need more information.

"mount" doesn't show them whole "ps" yes. My usb pendrive is FAT, doesn't mean anything?
APart form the cores I also have few tcz in my tce dir

[roberts]

Now I see. Answer, busybox does not release the loop device upon umount.
Will have to use losetup

Busybox umount does work with the -d option.
