Hello!

I have a problem with loop devices. I made one with mknod command

mknod loop8 b 7 8
chown root.disk loop8

There were only 7 loop devices under /dev directory and I need more. But
when I tried to mount an iso file 

mount -o loop file.iso dir_name

then I have got the message :

mount : could not find any free loop device

then I tried 

mount -o loop=/dev/loop8 file.iso dir_name

then I have got the message :

/dev/loop8 : no such device. 

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

Thank you!

Iyi gunler!                                   Have a nice day!
