Number of Loop devices

["david" <scifast@f-m.fm>]

Hello.

I would like to know how to mount more than 8 loop devices (if this is
permited by the kernel).


I have 13 iso images from sarge and would like to make its contents
available via ftp with something like

mount -o loop $i.iso /mnt/ftp/$i

Why are there only 8 /dev/loop? devices (0-7).

Thanks.
