Mailing List Archive: max

I notice that I can only start up 8 guest domains from VBDs. When I try
to add a ninth:

Error: vbd: Segment not found: uname=file:/path/to/image

Perhaps this is the problem? From dmesg:

loop: loaded (max 8 devices)

According to drivers/block/loop.c, this can be changed by passing
max_loop=<1-255> to the kernel on boot. Should this be added to the FAQ?

I've added this to the FAQ -- thanks!

Mark: Any chance your script could spot when the kernel is out of loop
devices and cause a more useful error message to be generated?

Thanks,
Ian
