Description Mario Bachmann 2009-05-10 13:57:05 UTC
sys-apps/util-linux-2.15

"losetup -f" should find all 32 loop-devices i have. 
only the first 8 (0-7) are found.

i have 32 loop-devices because of append="loop.max_loop=32" in the lilo.conf.
ls /dev/loop
0  10  12  14  16  18  2   21  23  25  27  29  30  4  6  8
1  11  13  15  17  19  20  22  24  26  28  3   31  5  7  9

by hand i can use 32 loop-devices!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "mount -o loop ..." more than 8 times
2. losetup -f do not find another loop-device
3. by hand i can mount /dev/loop30 for example
