Why doesn't the loop module cause /dev/loop* device node creation at
load time? E.g. I have in /etc/modprobe.conf:
options loop max_loop=128
and /etc/fstab I have many of these:
/iso/FC3-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/heidelberg-i386-DVD iso9660 ro,loop=/dev/loop59,nosuid,nodev 0 0
Shouldn't rc.sysinit's "mount -a" cause all the loop devices to be
created automatically?
It seems to not work at boot time, but later a manual "mount -a" does
create the devices...
