Hi ! it seems that losetup doesn`t yet honour recent kernel change (see http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=73285082745045bcd64333c1fbaa88f8490f2626 ) to allow more than 256 loop-devices. that change was great because i can build a bigger cd-rom server now :) loop-device creation is dynamically now, is there already work in progress for support in losetup ? i would have send a fix, but i`m unsure if just changing limitations in lomount.c show_used_loop_devices (void) { .... for (j = 0; j < SIZE(loop_formats); j++) { for(i = 0; i < 256; i++) { sprintf(dev, loop_formats[j], i); and find_unused_loop_device (void) { .... for (j = 0; j < SIZE(loop_formats); j++) { for(i = 0; i < 256; i++) { sprintf(dev, loop_formats[j], i); is the way to go since MINOR limit of device nodes seems to be at 1048575 and that`s probably a little bit to large value to loop trough. regards roland sysadmin __________________________________________________________________________ Erweitern Sie FreeMail zu einem noch leistungsstärkeren E-Mail-Postfach!
