Re: /dev/loop3 No appropriate device found
Hi,
sorry, no. They are tehre alright!
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2 Mär 23 2002 /dev/loop2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 3 Mär 23 2002 /dev/loop3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 4 Mär 23 2002 /dev/loop4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 5 Mär 23 2002 /dev/loop5
(loop2 to loop4 were the ones ...)
any other idea?
