SubjectRe: ext2 cdrom; 2.20-pre2 : mount -o loop /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
Hi,

Ofcourse I'm very interested in making sure that ext2 CD-ROMs work
as they should in 2.2.x, but I'm having a hard time locating the
problem as they work fine here... Could someone enlighten me and
possibly provide test cases that show the problem?
