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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Istanbul Teknik Universitesi Istanbul Technical University Bilisim Enstitusu Informatics Institute Arastirma Gorevlisi Erdal MUTLU Research Assistant Erdal MUTLU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

I wouldn't say that I know, but you might have been somewhere other than /dev when you ran mknod, so your loop8 device could be somewhere else. try this instead: mknod /dev/loop8 b 7 8 and see if it works then.
