you can pass the max_loop=<your number, max. 255> option to the loop device driver; if you're loading it as a module, pass it as a parameter to insmod - if the support is compiled into the kernel, append it to your boot options. > Why are there only 8 /dev/loop? devices (0-7). That's just the default number of loop devices. If you need more, create more (see mknod(8); block device, major 7, minor number should match the number in the name). HTH, Jan
