2.6 kernel failing lofs mount from lsb-runtime-test

Posted here in case anyone knows about it
and can save us some time chasing I down.

It appears the the lsb-runtime-test shows
a number of additional failures when running
on a 2.6 kernel.

The new errors appear to be in mounting the
loopback filesystem that is constructed by
the test suite to test handling of out-of-
space conditions by various interfaces.

The construction and mounting of the disk
image of a small ext2 filesystem works just
fine if done by hand.

Any ideas?
