Nope. That 7 is the *major* device number associated with the loopback device
driver. Each loopback device uses a *minor" device number to differentiate
it. Do a "ls -l /dev/loop*" and you will see that all have major device 7
and the minor devices differ. You can just make more device nodes if your
system doesn't have the max_loop thing.
