I want to build a cd-rom server and want to use the loop-driver (loop.c) for that. That server will be HUGE and I will need to loopback mount more than 256 .iso images in the near future. Unfortunately, the loop driver doesn`t support >256 device nodes. Is there a possible solution for this "problem" ? regards roland - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
