Hello,
I've tried to mount an iso file using the loopback device (mount /tmp/somethg.iso /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop/0) but it says: block device required. I've read on busybox.net (http://busybox.net) that there is a bug with mounting using the loopback approach, but they said that it is a bug in newer releases (after 1.0rc1) only, it works well on rel. 1.00.; Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-7b comes with Busybox rel. 1.00, so according to the Busybox bug report, it should work fine but it doesn't.
Here's the link:
http://bugs.uclibc.org/view.php?id=498
What should I do to make it work? Can I patch busybox without compiling the whole firmware from scratch?
Thanks for your help!
