Description Dan Carpenter 2006-01-05 05:58:38 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
I've got a bunch of floppy disk images and I'm trying to loop back mount them and extract them but the loop back mounting is failing unless I add long pauses.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
I've attached my script that I use to unpack the floppy disks.  

Actual Results:  Some of the floppys are mounted right away.  Others take a 2 or 3 tries before I can mount them.

Expected Results:  They all should have been mounted right away.

anything in dmesg when it fails ?
does it consistently fail on certain images ?  can you point me at some of these
images if they're downloadable so I can try to repeat this ?
