loopback device

[aphro <nate@firetrail.com>]

I am in the process of setting up a samba file server for my dept, and am
mounting quite a few ISO images via loopback just to have the ISO
available to burn if needed and at the same time have all the files
there.  I see there are 8 loopback devices i was wondering if there was
any complications that anyone has encountered with having all 8 (or
perhaps more?) in use, they won't be very active but i've never worked
with the loopback device till today, so im not sure what to
expect.  Running kernel 2.2.10 debian slink

thanks!

nate
