kernel-xen seems to only support 8 loop devices
The kernel-xen (and probably the rest of the kernel packages) only support 8 loop devices. It seems that if the loop support were compiled as a module it would support a boot option to increase the maximum number of loop devices. Would it be possible to update the config to compile the loop device support as a module? I need this functionality so that I can boot a number of virtual machines using loop back devices. Thank you. -- Joshua Colson <jcolson@realm.ination.cc> !DSPAM:28,441b015e317231047317077!
