Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
I used this to create a couple of USB boot systems. That all went fine, but afterwards, for each one, I was left with a loopback device visible in the unity launcher and the disk utility. They're not mounted, and attempting to mount them fails (showing this in disk utility:
Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
)
Looks like some cleanup wasn't done when usb-creator finished (it has been closed normally, the loop devices remain). And now there's no readily apparent way to make them go away. :-)

Unsurprisingly, but confirmed, the devices, and the icons in unity-launcher, persist after logging out and logging in again.
