Hello savvies,
Upon noticing this on my system:
| Code: | % losetup -f
/dev/loop/3
|
I wondered who owns loops 0, 1 and 2:
| Code: | % losetup -a
% ps x | grep loop
22381 ? S< 0:00 [loop0]
22408 ? S< 0:00 [loop1]
22565 ? S< 0:00 [loop2]
% lsof -R |grep loop
loop0 22381 2 root cwd DIR 8,3 4096 2 /
loop0 22381 2 root rtd DIR 8,3 4096 2 /
loop0 22381 2 root txt unknown /proc/22381/exe
loop1 22408 2 root cwd DIR 8,3 4096 2 /
loop1 22408 2 root rtd DIR 8,3 4096 2 /
loop1 22408 2 root txt unknown /proc/22408/exe
loop2 22565 2 root cwd DIR 8,3 4096 2 /
loop2 22565 2 root rtd DIR 8,3 4096 2 /
loop2 22565 2 root txt unknown /proc/22565/exe

All commands were executed as root.
Any idea who owns loops 0-2 and/or how i may get them back?
Thanks! 
EDIT:
And also:
| Code: | % losetup -d /dev/loop/0 /dev/loop/1 /dev/loop/2
loop: can't delete device /dev/loop/0: No such file or directory
loop: can't delete device /dev/loop/1: No such file or directory
loop: can't delete device /dev/loop/2: No such file or directory
