Hi,

I am trying to mount a loopback device on my ext4 formatted ssd drive.
I get these errors when I reboot on Linux kernel 2.6.38.8

Buffer I/O error on device loop1, logical block 0

Here is what I do:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/s/lodev bs=4096 count=250000
# mkfs.ext4 /mnt/s/lodev
# mount -n -o loop,rw /mnt/s/lodev /mnt/test

The loopback mount is successful, but on reboot I get errors as mentioned above. Even mouting with 'sync','data=writeback' does not help.

I tried to losetup a device, but see the same behavior.

Appreciate any suggestions on this problem.
