We use a loopback device to create a filesystem for our embedded
software.  When I'm on 2.4 the image is created fine with ample free
space on the ext2 fs.  When I use 2.6 as the script is doing cp -dpvR
../template/* root/  it seems to run out of space on the image.  The cp
command can never finished.  This problem has killed my plans on moving
to 2.6 anytime soon.
