Re: [Nolug] Free loop device problem

do an lsmod and make sure the loop module is still loaded. if not, insmod
loop. also how many isos are you mounting? i think 16 is sometimes the
default... add to /etc/modules.conf

options loop max_loop=32

or whatever max you want. you can also reload the module and specify
max_loop if you don't want to reboot.

automount is gas...is it really needed?
