Please accept this simple patch that fixes intermittent build failures due to busy loopback device by adding a 'sleep 1' statement before removing a loopback in the Losetup function in functions/losetup.sh.
will apply, thanks.
Ideally, we should probably add a helper function to remove loopback devices that does the sleep for us instead of having sleeps in several places where we do losetup -d or even having Losetup sleep before returning to avoid this race condition for sure in all cases. However, I'll leave that improvement for another day.
ack; we can do in 3.x at a later point. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: daniel.baumann@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/
