[systemd-devel] mounting loop

Hello everybody,

with systemd 219 mounting a filesystem image in loopback mode fails. Using
these command:

# truncate -s 1G /tmp/test.img
# mkfs.ext4 /tmp/test.img
[...]
# mount -o loop /tmp/test.img /mnt/tmp

systemd umounts the image as it thinks it is inactive:

Apr 20 08:54:28 leda systemd[1]: Unit mnt-tmp.mount is bound to inactive
unit. Stopping, too.
Apr 20 08:54:28 leda systemd[1]: Unmounting /mnt/tmp...
Apr 20 08:54:28 leda systemd[1]: Unmounted /mnt/tmp.

However manually assigning a loop device and mounting that works just fine:

# losetup -f /tmp/test.img
# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [0034]:695793 (/tmp/test.img)
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/tmp

I think this is not the intended behavior, no? Any chance to fix that?

"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Chris           get my mail address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*               gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
