Hello all,

Long story short:
Busybox compiled against glibc does not have 256 loop devices limit.
Confirmed with this message:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-April/072128.html
Busybox compiled against uClibc is somehow still limited to 256 loops. You
can create more with mknod but you wont be able to use them.

Am i doing something wrong or it's rather an uClibc limitation?
Any chance to raise this number in the upcoming uClibc 0.9.33 release?

Regards,
Tomasz Jokiel
