#10 only 8 loop devices available

[darkfader]

This is a PITA bug!

setting
options loop max_loop=200
in /etc/modules.conf doesn't take effect for an
unknown reason.

General suggestion: Try to prefer (faster) evms/lvm
backends.

You are able to unload and reload the loop module with
some option by hand. Please remember to free all load
devices beforehard :)

# losetup -d /dev/loop<N>

rmmod loop && modprobe -v loop max_loop=200
