[Bug 340880] New: mount & losetup don`t honour >256 loop devices
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340880 Summary: mount & losetup don`t honour >256 loop devices Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: roland.kletzing@materna.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: System Test Hi! the opensuse 10.3 kernel is able to have more than 256 loop devices. there was a patch on lkml some time ago which obsoletes max_loop=256. loopdevices can be allocated dynamically now. mount & losetup don`t honour that, so for example building a huge (huuuuge! ;) cd-rom server (iso-image loopback mounted) isn`t possible. Karel Zak of util-linux-ng is aware of the problem. could you probably make an update package if a fix is available? regards Roland Kletzing -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
