You can observe with ps that each thread for each mounted loop device increases the load by 1; here's the output from "ps ax | fgrep loop" on my Dell Inspiron 5000e: 13 ? DW< 0:28 [loop1] 115 ? DW< 0:57 [loop0] 116 ? DW< 0:58 [loop2] 2816 pts/4 S 0:00 fgrep loop Since I have 3 image files mounted, that means my Inspiron 5000e has a load of 3 when it's idle... ;) -Barry K.
