Well, by default there are only 8 loop devices compiled in standard kernels.
There are several ways to overcome the problem: 1) unmount the unused ISOs (recommended, easiest way) 2) use FUSE (Filesystem in User Space doesn't have this stupid limitation, requires kernel 2.6.14+) 3) compile your own kernel with more loop devices (I think 256 is a theoretical maximum for v2.6 kernels)
Hi, there are better ways, depending on what you have running: If the loop-software is built in the kernel, then edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, and add as kernel option: max_loop=256 If the loop-software is built as a module, then edit the file /etc/modprobe.conf, and add the line: "loop max_loop=256" Hans -- pgp-id: 926EBB12 pgp-fingerprint: BE97 1CBF FAC4 236C 4A73 F76E EDFC D032 926E BB12 Registered linux user: 75761 (http://counter.li.org)
