[Fedora-livecd-list] Interrupted livecd-creator leaves hung loopback mount

[asmith11 at cox.net]

Hi,

I've been using the livecd-creator with FC7-t3 and am mostly pretty happy with the results.  I have noticed one problem.  If I try to CTRL-C the livecd-creator during the RPM-installation step (which for my current spin takes 10 minutes or so) I end up with a hung /dev/loop0 mount that I cannot umount.  I find I have to reboot to clear the mount.  

I'm working on a customized application DVD with many custom RPMs -- this means that frequently during the RPM installation phase of livecd-creator I see an issue I want to address and I would rather not wait for it to finish so I would like to be able to CTRL-C things right there.

Here's an example of what I see after an interrupted livecd-creator session and what I try to do to clear it (I modified livecd-creator to use /repo/tmp rather than /var/tmp on my machine but that's the only change):

[root at mca proc]# df -h

[root at mca proc]# ps auxww | grep 3445

[root at mca proc]# 


I'd appreciate any help or insight into how I can either umount the /dev/loop0 mount or more cleanly interrupt the livecd-creator.

Thanks!
