HD Install :: HD install degenerating...



No, I can't load Firefox.

I have probably loaded many *.uci extensions before, but not on the same reboot...

What are cloop devices, and how do I disconnect them? How do I check how many cloop devices I have?

Thanks. :)

Hmm.. if you have not loaded any *.uci since reboot then I do not understand the reason for the error message.

You can see what cloop devices are in use by typing:

mount

from an xterminal window.


Cloop devices are read-only compressed filesystems.

A Microsoft somewhat equivalent might be a compressed folder.

The uci's are compressed filesystems that contain the program that you are trying to run.  In order to use the program, your *.uci must be "mounted" to a cloop device.

There are limited number of cloop devices that exist in a typical linux system, so a common reason for such an error message is that all of the other cloop devices (cloop through cloop7) are already in use.

When I type in

% mount

it says:

/dev/hda2 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/pts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666)
