Checking filesystems Fedora-13-x86_64: clean, 128566/3678208 files, 6525382/14704640 blocks ... Mounting other filesystems: mount: according to mtab /var/www/html/Fedora-13-x86_64-DVD.iso is already mounted on /var/www/html/kickstart/fedora/13/x86_64 as loop ... Expected results: No errors during boot up. Additional info: Here are other users having a similar issue on FC 12: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2009-December/095116.html I think the error can be pinpointed here: In /etc/rc.sysinit, there is a line: mount -a -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,ncpfs,cifs,gfs,gfs2 -O no_netdev In /etc/init.d/netfs, there is a line: action $"Mounting other filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,nfs4,cifs,ncpfs,gfs Both lines when ran manually after a boot display this error: mount: according to mtab /var/www/html/Fedora-13-x86_64-DVD.iso is already mounted on /var/www/html/kickstart/fedora/13/x86_64 as loop Regards Robert de Bock.
Looks like it's possibly an accounting error in util-linux/mount.
This is side-effect of auto-clear loop devices. Fixed in upstream repository, the bugfix will be available in Fedora ASAP.
