I get: ls -l /dev/loop* crw-rw----. 1 root disk 10, 237 Sep 22 08:49 /dev/loop-control Same result with sudo. I also tried sudo rmmod loop sudo modprobe ls -l /dev/loop* crw-rw----. 1 root disk 10, 237 Sep 22 08:49 /dev/loop-control So got the same output. Should I now try what you have written in your notes below? > > 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.
