I just tried doing this on my machine. I gave it 10 ISOs and they all mounted fine until I ram out of loop devices, so only 8 mounts.

I just went to look at the name of the ubuntu ISO for 10.04 and I think you might have a typo unless you changed the names of the ones on your system. the name I have is:ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso The one in your fstab has an extra zero after the 10.04. I'm guessing the same typo happenes with the 10.04.1 version as well.

I hope that's it because I can't reproduce your problem :(

Sorry again for the brain fart I had with the file system/options thing.

PROGRESS:
- The comma should NOT be there as it is not part of the type, it is an
option allowing a user to do the mount.
- The reason the first two and the last two fail is for some reason the
file is not found even though it is really there.  I suspect something
like wierd syntactical thing or a buffer overflow, or ...   I will have
to look at this more.
- When I dumped the comma and did a sudo mount -a, I got

    larry@fogtest:~$ sudo mount -a
    mount: special device
    /home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.02-desktop-i386.iso
    does not exist
    mount: special device
    /home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.01-desktop-amd64.iso
    does not exist
    mount:
    /home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso is
    not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
    mount:
    /home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso is
    not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)
    mount: special device

    not exist
    mount: special device
    /home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/11.04/ubuntu-11.11-desktop-amd64.iso

so I tried the following an got back where I started so I think I can
put the loop back now and work at figuring out why it can find the
legitimate files.

    larry@fogtest:~$ sudo mount -a -o loop
