Title:
Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
LiveUSB stick created using this program failed to boot. The size of
my usb stick is 2GB.
The version of usb-creator I have is 0.1.16 (according to synaptic)
1. I created a persistence-enabled 128MB (default value) drive with xubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 iso image.
The stick booted fine and the OS was running ok.
2. I created a persistence-enabled 1.2GB (max value by pulling the
slider all the way up). The stick fails to boot by giving the message:
'Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow'
I have re-verified the checksums of the iso that I was trying to use
and they are fine. I re-tried this particular step thrice and I got
the logs during that third attempt.
Using the instructions at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper , I
got the following in casper.log:
