Colin, about point 4 above, are you sure I should add the sync options to the loopfile mount?
I would have thought that I should have had sync & co for the host filesystem (ntfs) but not for the nested one (ext3 in loopfile). The idea being that the data should hit the metal when the nested fs syncs, so it is the host fs that has to avoid caching. Caching in the nested fs is not necessarily a bad thing. -- wubi install unusable - Buffer I/O error on device loop0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
