Hi Gang! A couple of weeks ago I mounted an iso9660 image as a loopback device. The CD image seemed to be in good order, but umount failed, and ever since then ps aux has shown: root 6747 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW< Jan24 0:00 [loop0] and it doesn't respond to kill -9. Meanwhile "rmmod loop" returns: loop: Device or resource busy Any advice? Tony -- -- Tony Crawford -- tc@crawfords.de -- +49-3341-30 99 99 --
