Hi,
Back in the days of 2.0.x I built a cd-rom ext2 filesystem with the
following procedure:
1- I made a big file and built an ext2 filesystem on top of it
2- I mounted this file usin the 'loop' device and copied several
things, files, etc...
3- After umounting the file, I burnt the big file on a cd-rom with
cdwrite...
Well now the curious thing:
In 2.0.x I could do something like
mount -t ext2 -r /dev/sr0 /mnt (and it worked OK)
In 2.1.x this command fails with error.
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
or too many mounted file systems
And now the funny thing
If I do (in 2.1.x)
losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/sr0
mount -t ext2 -r /dev/loop0 /mnt
It works !!!
(mount is 2.7a)
????
I suspect that this is related to block size changes between 2.0 and
2.1...
Why mount on an ext2 filesystem does not allow to specify the block
size?
