Can Someone please advise as to how to remove the extra loop devices (loops6-7) shown below?

Don't want to mess things up more than they already are....

 

Thanks,

Mark

it looks like you have more than one mount -o loop  for the OpenOffice cramfs.. I would try to track that down... in the meantime you may try..

umount /dev/loop7
losetup -d /dev/loop7

Thanks for the quick response, Iama smith!

Just tried out you suggested....

Code: [Select]

$su
#umount /dev/loop7
#losetup -d /dev/loop7
losetup: not found
#

I hate it when this happens....

 

Thanks,

Mark

I suggest that you look in your

/etc/fstab

file to see if there are duplicate lines that can be deleted.

did you try just doing umount /hdd3/debroot/home/zaurus/OpenOffice.org1.1.4

Hey, THANKS Everyone for all your help!!!

Meanwhile, I checked 'mount' again and guess what the commands that 'Iamasmith' suggested worked even though you get the error message!!

The umount gets rid of the mount losetup -d deletes the loop device, if losetup isn't present the mount will still go but the loop device may still be active.

So how do you know for sure whether it's really gone or not, iamasmith??

Thanks!
