The configuration file which tells MAKEDEV how to create loop devices only lists up to 16 devices. Open /etc/makedev.d/linux-2.6.x, find the line which reads: b $STORAGE 7 0 1 16 loop%d and change it to: b $STORAGE 7 0 1 64 loop%d and that limitation will be gone. Many of the parts of the configuration file which set the maximum number of devices of any type which MAKEDEV can create are just guesses, and this particular guess was too low. HTH, Nalin
