Re: [Xen-users] max loopback devices

[Kip Macy <kip.macy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was responding to Andrew's comments not yours. And yes it looks like
something has changed with the loopback devices in more recent
versions of the linux kernel. max_loop=255 worked on 2.6.9 for an
earlier version of 2.0-testing. It appears that this option no longer
works. You might try taking a look at the loopback driver to see if
anything jumps out. I might have to take a look at this at some point
if it isn't fixed in the next month or so.
