Hi,

my problem:
if a generate an iso-fs with mkiso -o image.iso -R cd_dir/
and the try to mount it with
"mount image.iso -t iso9660 -o loop /image"
the mount command hangs and I am not even able to kill the mount.
I'm using kernel 2.4.2 and Reiserfs

hoping for help
Michael

This is a known problem with kernel 2.4.2 and the loopback filesystem.
Upgrade the kernel to 2.4.3, or get the loopback patch for 2.4.2.

I just tried:
mkisofs -o ~/image.iso -R /usr/src/
mkdir ~/image
mount -t iso9660 -o image.iso ~/image/

and it worked for me, btw:
uname -r
2.4.3,
using ext2fs, Reiserfs, etc...
