Howdy, I am mounting .iso filesystems as loopback file systems. So far I have up to /dev/loop7 mounted and all went well with them. When I tried to mount to /dev/loop8, I got the error message "mount: could not find any free loop device". However /dev/loop8 through /dev/loop15 available (and even mknod'ed a /dev/loop16 just for the heck of it) and I still get the same error. This is a fairly stock Red Hat 7.2 host. The whole point is I am trying to share the ISO images for the IT staff at a client site to be able to get at for burning support CD's, and at the same time actually nfs/smb export the contents of each ISO as a read only filesystem of its own for network access purposes.
Has anyone else here run into this problem?
