At some point linux invented dynamic /dev/loop creation and said everyone should use it, but neglected to fix all the software in the world that expected loop devices to already exist. Here's my notes from back in the fedora 20 timeframe: found this at work: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019440 1. Create the file /etc/modules-load.d/loop.conf that just contains the word "loop" on a line by itself. This makes sure systemd arranges for the loop module to be loaded. 2. Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/eightloop.conf that contains the line: options loop max_loop=8 Despite the name, that makes the min number of loop devices by 8 (which was the default kernel setting before they changed it). 3. Run (as root) "dracut --force" to rebuild the initrd with the new module options included. 4. Reboot and see 8 loop devices pre-created in /dev _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
