still present in 14.04 , this looks like an upstream bug as i've seen it reported for fedora as well.
this is a very annoying bug because it means you cannot reuse loopback devices so are limited to 8 loopbacks untill you have to reboot , its quite easy to use that up , this also makes scripting with loopbacks much harder because you can't clear and remake them in a simple manner. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258263 Title: can't delete device /dev/loop3: Device or resource busy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen-3.2/+bug/1258263/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
