It may be related to commit 1eb0cc30 where loop_get_partition_range was added. It reads from '/sys/module/loop/parameters/max_part' which on my F15 system (kernel 2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64) returns 0. Partitioned loop devices certainly do work, so I think this is an error. I also am not sure what will happen with systems where loop is not a module. -- Brian C.
