Other Help Topics :: UCI mysteries

I was experimenting with creating a UCI, and for some reason it works fine when mydsl-loaded from $HOME or /tmp, but not from /mnt/hda, where I get "Please mount media containing optional directory" errors. I experimented with file permissions, etc., but nothing seems to work. Is the answer prayer?

I *think* that error occurs with any failure, including failure to find the specified file, a corrupt file, or corrupt file system. Have you tried copying the failed file to your home after the failure to see if the file might be corrupted?

I also think the error occurs from another problem that I haven't experienced personally, according to a post I once saw here somewhere. I can't remember what it was, but I'm guessing a search of these forums for that error message will bring it up.

If I copy the same uci that failed on HDA to any directory other than HDA, it works (works in /opt, /tmp. etc). I get the same error on any HDA partition (i.e., hda3, hda4).
In aterm, I get: ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Bad file descriptor

Did you type the command in correctly? What's the type/format of those hd partitions?

ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Bad file descriptor

Looks like an error from cloop
