Re: [Xen-users] How to increase loop device

[Dominik Vogt <dominik.vogt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Each guest uses at least two loop devices. Modify or
create /etc/modprobe.d/local-loop and add this line:

options loop max_loop=64

With 64 loop devices you can run up to 32 guests on your host, assuming
you aren't using loop devices for any other purposes.

cheers
