The loopback filesystem was an ext2 filesystem in a file consisting mostly of
holes (until I filled it up).
I haven't yet been able to recreate the situation.
In trying to use /dev/loop0 again, I received the error:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Device or resource busy
The 'df' and 'mount' commands insist that /mnt isn't mounted, though
/proc/mounts
lists it as being mounted. It seems that there was some confusion on
unmounting
it.
