Strace of failed mount Edit (28.5 KiB, text/plain)

I've reproduced by installing Windows Vista in Virtual Box and then running the Wubi installer and booting up ubuntu I also fall into busybox initramfs.

I then mounted an ext3 file system containing some tools and was able to strace the mount, see attached log. Not sure why the mount to fuseblk is returning -EBUSY as yet.

I've tested the same ntfs-3g binary against a linux-2.6.27-2 kernel and I can mount the same partition in a normal non-Wubi installation - so ntfs-3g and linux-2.6.27-2 are OK in the normal enviroment and not in the initramfs installer environment.
