Subject: Number of loopback devices
Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2002 01:30:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020401003015.GO4583@vnl.com> (raw)
Loopbacks are so damned useful that I'm certain I'll
soon run out of them, and I doubt I'm the only person
in that position, particularly with some of the
improvements in the crypto patches making it possible
to run an all crypto system.
I note that the number is set in loop.c
static int max_loop = 8;
and I wonder what the safe upper limit for this is,
and if there is some reason for not making it larger
or perhaps making it a CONFIGurable item?
