Re: How to increase loop device

by Dominik Vogt-2 :: Rate this Message:

Each guest uses at least two loop devices. Modify or
create /etc/modprobe.d/local-loop and add this line:

options loop max_loop=64

With 64 loop devices you can run up to 32 guests on your host, assuming
you aren't using loop devices for any other purposes.

cheers
