Uhm, scratch that last one from me.  All you have to do is add "max_loop=12"
as a module or kernel parameter.  Much easier than compiling anything.

Subject: MKNOD LOOP

I need to add some additional loop devices (mounting about a dozen iso
images).
My system had 8 to begin with  loop0-loop7  which were  majnode 7
minornode
0-7

I did a    mknod loop8 b 7 8
And then a chmod and chgrp to match the existing devices.

But when I go to mount this iso image I get the following.

mount: could not find any free loop device

What am I missing?

TIA.
