[Bug 201750] Re: Cannot remount loopfiles inside of vfat

[Agostino Russo]

I did some preliminary tests with blockdev (which was suggested to me by
Colin Watson) and added some code to mounthost (Mounthost is the init.d
scripts that takes care of remounting the host directory for
loopinstallations, see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
installer/lupin/hardy/revision/93).

I can remount a loopfiles using blockdev --setrw in a simple set-up
(ext3 file inside of a vfat partition), but that does not work as well
when said loopfile contains /.

For the time being I would suggest to apply the workaround in the first
comment, to make it possible for vfat users to install via Wubi and
hence to avoid needless tickets.
