I have ~20 CDs that it's serving and I don't want to keep them all loaded
all the time, so I'm using the automount to handle it. Also I add/remove
cd's failrly regularly so it's real easy to make the new image and recreate
the link that mounts it. The lsmod reports:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
nls_iso8859-1 3516 0 (autoclean)
loop 12888 8 (autoclean)
autofs 13700 1 (autoclean)
ps -A | grep loop
16245 ? 00:00:00 loop1
19962 ? 00:00:00 loop2
20719 ? 00:00:00 loop3
20974 ? 00:00:00 loop4
21623 ? 00:00:00 loop5
22342 ? 00:00:00 loop6
22491 ? 00:00:00 loop7
23421 ? 00:00:00 loop0
I've tried to kill -9 and they won't die also if I rmmod loop it says it's
busy and can't unload.

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?
