Description Holger Sickenberg 2008-10-06 12:48:25 UTC

I'm trying to install openSUSE 11.1 froman ISO file on the local harddisk using the command from http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc

install=disk://openSUSE-11.1-Beta2-x86_64-DVD.iso

The installtion system finds the ISO, boots the YaST installer, but the I get an error message.

I can't. I'm sorry, i should not have marked it a duplicate if it can't be accessed.

Anyway, the bug is fixed in libzypp-5.15.1 and will reach beta 3. The problem was a change in kernel and mount.

----------
Upgrading from util-linux-2.13.1 to 2.14.1 it seems something has changed in
the way how mount writes loop mounts into the mount table.

They appear as

/dev/loop0 on /mnt/tmp type iso9660 (ro)

instead of 

/local/jkupec/iso/SLES-11-DVD-i386-Beta2-DVD1.iso on /mnt/tmp type
iso9660(ro,loop=/dev/loop0)
----------
This change is part of the new auto-destruct feature.
Has been introduced with the following util-linux-ng git commit:
commit 024e1a4f90ad98495863e57132edbadc80a3cac5
Author: Bernardo Innocenti <bernie@codewiz.org>
Date:   Sun Oct 28 22:47:33 2007 -0400

    mount: allow auto-destruction of loop devices

    This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are closed
    for the last time, they'll self-destruct.

    The kernel part has been submitted to lkml by David Woodhouse.

The following change is responsible for it:
+      if (loop_opts & SETLOOP_AUTOCLEAR)
+        /* Prevent recording loop dev in mtab for cleanup on umount */
+        *loop = 0;

If a loop device with SETLOOP_AUTOCLEAR is created (which is default now), the
loop file will not be recorded in mtab.
