/proc/mounts is linked to /etc/mtab.

I am unable to reproduce this. I mounted -o loop both inside and
outside of the chroot and was able to unmount. It successfully
freed the loop device. ps aux showed that loop0, loop1, etc.
disappeared as I unmounted them. I was then able to rmmod
loop.o.

I had to mount proc inside of the chroot. I was able to mount
the flash drive again inside of the chroot environment.

Does the one on 1440.img work?
