Maybe this explains why it fails when I try to mount loop8.



Well, why it's failing is that you only have 8 devices.  Block-major
should indeed be 7.

If you add "options loop max_loop=64" to modprobe.conf.local that
should be all you need, I think.  (once you rmmod and reload the module)

Re: problems when running mksles9root.sh for SP4

2008-10-28 Thread Bernard Wu
This is what I got from IBM support.

In the 2.6 kernel for SLES 9, the loop module has been compiled into the
kernel. You will need to edit your /etc/zipl.conf and add the  following:

max_loop=16

Then run zipl
Then reboot.

That fixed it.

Thanks to all who replied.

Nope.  That 7 is the *major* device number associated with the loopback device
driver.  Each loopback device uses a *minor" device number to differentiate
it.  Do a "ls -l /dev/loop*" and you will see that all have major device 7
and the minor devices differ.  You can just make more device nodes if your
system doesn't have the max_loop thing.

Or, change max_loop and manually create the new device nodes you need if you
want to avoid a reboot.  This little loop will do the trick:

n=8; while [ $n -lt 64 ]; do mknod /dev/loop$n b 7 $n; n=$((n+1)); done

I noticed in your earlier post that mount | grep loop  showed a DVD iso
mounted on loop0 -- but your losetup -a shows loop0 being mounted as the CD1
iso ..Have you tried umounting the DVD iso?  It looks like an NFS mount
..

Just wondering if something is mucked up --  what does df -h show after you
do the manual mounts?Is the DVD still showing up?

Also - have you already tried rebooting?

Re: Connect to DB2 with PHP

Hello!
Russ, typically Slack contains a command to translate those RPM files into

As for your question regarding PHP and DB2, on that issue I'm not sure. I do

Add options loop max_loop=64 (or up to 255, I think) in /etc/

You will need to rmmod and then modprobe loop again, so it may be

It looks to me like mksles9root.sh used up your last two loop devices, so it
then failed when trying to loopback-mount CD3.  Use "losetup -a" to see the
status of your attached loopback devices.  You can
use "losetup -d /dev/loopX" to detach whatever is attached to a particular
loopback device.  Make sure it is unmounted and not needed before you detach
it, though.

Hi Mike,
I did a "fuser /dev/loop?" on all 16 and it came back clean.

However , the "mount | greep loop " produced this :

/nfs/iso/SLES-10-SP2-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso
  2.6G  2.6G 0 100% /nfs/sles10sp2/dvd1


If loop0 is being used, why is "fuser  /dev/loop0" coming up clean.
Besides there are 15 other devices for the script to use.

Re: problems when running mksles9root.sh for SP4

2008-10-28 Thread Michael MacIsaac
Bernard,

So you have 16 loopback devices.  But I see the error:
> mount: could not find any free loop device

So I wonder how many of the 16 are available for use. What does "mount |
grep loop" return? (I'm not sure of another way of telling which loopback
devices are being used). Here's an example:

 # mount | grep loop
/nfs/rhel5.2/RHEL5.2-Server-20080430.0-s390x-DVD.iso on /nfs/rhel5.2/dvd
type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop0)
/nfs/sles10sp2/SLES-10-SP2-s390x-GMC-DVD1.iso on /nfs/sles10sp2/CD1 type
iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop1)
/nfs/rhel5/RHEL5-Server-20070417.0-s390x-DVD.iso on /nfs/rhel5/dvd type
iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop2)
/nfs/sles10sp1/SLES10-SP1-DVD-s390x-RC5-DVD1.iso on /nfs/sles10sp1/dvd
type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop3)
/nfs/sles10sp2/SLES-10-SP2-s390x-GMC-DVD1.iso on /nfs/sles10sp2/dvd1 type
iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop4)

Another thought would be to preface the mksles9root.sh command with "sh
-x" and see if that gives any more hints.

You may need more loopback devices

When I look at /dev/loop? , I see:

 # ls -ld loop*
brw-rw  1 root disk 7,  0 Nov 21  2005 loop0
brw-rw  1 root disk 7,  1 Nov 21  2005 loop1

brw-rw  1 root disk 7,  9 Nov 21  2005 loop9


Looks like I should have sufficient loopback devices for mksles9root.sh.
What am I missing ?
