You probably have loop loaded into the kernel as a module. The loop module has a parameter to specify the number of available devices. To set this option permanently, add this line to a new file called /etc/modutils/loop: options loop max_loop=16 Make sure that loop is not in use and run update-modules rmmod loop modprobe loop If your loop driver is compiled into the kernel, append "max_loop=16" (or an other suitable number) to the kernel command line in your boot loader.
