Using many (say 20) active loop-devices?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



By default I can use up to 8 loop-devices at the same time with losetup.

Is it trivial to use, say 20 (or more), loop-devices at the same time?
Would this need a significant amount of memory/CPU/other resources?

For now I'm only thinking of using these unencrypted, for mounting
several CD ISOs at once.

ps. Is this the right place to ask about losetup (included in
loop-aes-utils) when I'm using it without encryption?
