Well, that's what a max_ parameter implies ;p A manually set limit of loop devices is ok with me. (32 was just an example -- After all, I could have chosen 256 just to annoy some people :-) And with the recent hype of creating things when needed, or even recycling already used ones (sdx), I worry that this impacts stability or even usability as a whole. (yes, it's a -rc release ...) I'll be staying with 2.6.20.x for a year or so. Get the newly introduced bugs squashed before they have a chance to bug me, heh ;P PS: Just wondering: Who came up with this "on-demand" hype? -- left blank, right bald
