Hello! We are setting up a Linux box as samba-server at the university library. We want to use it to distribut CDROM-databases to an WinNT application server (Citrix). We don�t want to use another jukebox because of speed and cost. The simplest way would be to copy the entire CD into an image file with dd and to mount this image as loopback device. The problem is, we have about 40 CD�s, but not all mounted at one time. We expect a maximum of 20 mounted images (and so of 20 loopback devices) at one time. Does linux (kernel 2.2.2) support as much loopback-devices by default, or do we need to change the sources somewhere?? Does anybody know the answer or the location of an appropiate document? Please answer via mail mailto:dave.jaeckel@eddy.uni-duisburg.de because I don�t read this newsgroups regulary. Many thanks! Dave Jaeckel
