Mount more than 8 iso images

el_pajaro! · 08-23-2005, 09:35 AM

Hi, I am trying to share my 13 sarge cds over http. For that I have the 13 iso images of the cds and I want to mount all of the them on /var/www. I can do that with no problem with the first 8 cds. After that I get a message of :

Code:

mount: could not find any free loop device

So I create the new loop devices as it says here:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CDServer-HOWTO/addloops.html

But when I reboot nothing happens. Is seems that the problem is because I can't edit the /etc/modules.con directly in Debian.

Any idea,

Greetings

Firstly, for nearly all setups you only need the first3 CDs.

Try editing /etc/modules instead or even load the modules at boot time in GRUB/LILO.
