Title: mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/test failed: Device or resource busy
Post by: hiro on March 31, 2011, 07:56:38 AM

Has anybody seen this error?

mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/test failed: Device or resource busy

I found that sometimes a package doesn't get unmounted from /mnt/test. It seems to have been installed correctly cause the tce.installed entry is created, but the package doesn't work.

I'm using the copy2fs flag.

Hi hiro
I've seen a similar error when attempting to unmount a share from my file server while I still had a
file open on it. Maybe there's an open file in /mnt/test and mount doesn't like it?

I got a similar error by trying to install skype (still working on it).
error in tcl 3.5 and 3.6rc1
message comes up during tce "pixman" load on boot (dependence of xorg7.4)
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /mount/test failed: invalid argument. the message is coming in the middle of the tces indicated on the screen (with the boot option "showapps")right after pixman.

It happens very rarely, with random extensions, and I can't reproduce it :(

I found it.
I run tce-load in my .xinitrc.
When I use an icon for a ondemand app before the other tce-load finishes things get mangled up.
I don't know if this is a bug or not...

For you, Floppy, what happens if you do a boot with base and leave out the skype extension? Perhaps tce-load all it's dependencies manually to find out more.

@hiro: so you had two tce-loads running in parallel? Not really a supported scenario.

Yes, but I think with multiple ondemand icons users might get this problem more often. It should fail in the beginning, not midway through.

Strange, the notification mails went into my spam folder in google mail.

for reasons of making skype running (still working on it.. xorg.. matrox.. xorg.conf..), I had to delete xorg7-4 and then re-install it. This is gone now. So, I will repost if it come back.
