Re: loop device: print_req_error - blk_update_request I/O error

[EgervÃry Gergely]

Answering to myself:
It looks like ext4 lazy init does not play well with loop device.

If the ext4 filesystem was previously created with lazy init there are
I/O errors. Disabling lazy init fixes problem. Bug or feature?

Thanks,
