how to show all loop devices? losetup -a doesn't work

2007-09-01 Thread Frank
I've seen that my domU is only booting if I set loop max_loop=64 in 
/etc/modules. The default is max=8 right? I don't use more than 8 loop 
devices. So I want to know where they are. It's not possible to see it 
with losetup -a. The etch losetup doesn't has the -a option.


What does the max_loop set realy count, the mounted loop? And how can 
I find out why max_loop=8 is to smal and where are this loops I want to 
know.

I'm sorry that I cannot answer your question, but I would recommend
that you not use loop devices at all for xen, and instead do LVM
volumes or tap:aio.

Cheers,
