E.g. I have in /etc/modprobe.conf: options loop max_loop=128 and /etc/fstab I have many of these: /iso/FC3-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/heidelberg-i386-DVD iso9660 ro,loop=/dev/loop59,nosuid,nodev 0 0 Shouldn't rc.sysinit's "mount -a" cause all the loop devices to be created automatically? It seems to not work at boot time, but later a manual "mount -a" does create the devices...
