Really? So, does the kernel now keep track of the relationship between loop
devices and files or does that link still break loopback unmounts?
I'm running 2.4.4 and I see that /proc/mounts still doesn't contain all the
info in /etc/mtab. Is that link really suggested?
/proc/mounts:
/dev/loop0 /space/debian/potato1 iso9660 ro 0 0
/dev/loop1 /space/debian/potato2 iso9660 ro 0 0
/dev/loop2 /space/debian/potato3 iso9660 ro 0 0
/etc/mtab:
/space/debian/potato1.iso /space/debian/potato1 iso9660 ro,loop=/dev/loop0 0 0
/space/debian/potato2.iso /space/debian/potato2 iso9660 ro,loop=/dev/loop1 0 0
/space/debian/potato3.iso /space/debian/potato3 iso9660 ro,loop=/dev/loop2 0 0
