In kernel 2.6.22-rc2 the number of available loop mounts is reduced from 8 (conventional standard of preceding 2.6 kernels) to 1. Symptom: If you try to mount more than one single iso-image with the loop parameter you are receiving the following message during system boot: "mount: could not find any free loop device" Kernel 2.6.20.11 does not show that problem. Question: Can someone reading this confirm and reproduce that problem? If yes: Are there any fixes available?
