Just to be sure - I did some testing.

I opened up a whole bunch of virtual machines, all using loop devices.
When I hit the 3rd one, I got the same error again.

I followed the FAQ, and bumped up to 255 devices, as suggested.

I shutdown all the domains, removed the loop module, and restarted.
This time the 3rd one came up.

Strangely enough, it seems the 3rd device it tries to open is loop10:

root@dev02:/dev# lsof | grep loop
loop10    10210   root  cwd       DIR        8,1     464          2 /
loop10    10210   root  rtd       DIR        8,1     464          2 /
loop10    10210   root  txt   unknown
/proc/10210/exe
loop0     11330   root  cwd       DIR        8,1     464          2 /
loop0     11330   root  rtd       DIR        8,1     464          2 /
loop0     11330   root  txt   unknown
/proc/11330/exe
loop1     12495   root  cwd       DIR        8,1     464          2 /
loop1     12495   root  rtd       DIR        8,1     464          2 /
loop1     12495   root  txt   unknown
/proc/12495/exe

Seems bizarre to me!

Thanks all. Its working now, but to fix it what I did was to reboot?

Fromj this, I would guess it was something to do with the loop
devices. I have the default 8 loop devices (0 to 7). The bizarre thing
is.... I was only using 2... or so I thought? Ho hum.
