No, wait, I was doing that as user. When I do it as root I see all the /dev/loop0 --->7 and the mount command works for me as root.
I have Tumbleweed and only see: crw------- 1 root root 10, 237 Jun 29 00:07 /dev/loop-control Is it possible that no loop device exists until it is needed, controlled by systemd ??? I have previously loop mounted iso's but not recently and perhaps not since 12.3.... Indeed, something of the above does happen. As root I loop mounted an iso from disk to an existing directory and the following appears: crw------- 1 root root 10, 237 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop-control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 1 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 3 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 4 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 5 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 6 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 7 Jun 30 23:09 /dev/loop7 and they persist after umounting the iso, possibly until the next reboot. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
