For image updates, I want jigdo-lite to scan 14 loop-mounted images in one go. How can I do this?
When updating CD images, it’s tiresome to keep loop-mounting and unmounting images. However, by default the Linux kernel only supports eight loop devices, and jigdo-lite’s menu of previously entered paths only has five entries. To scan many loop-mounted images, you must first tell the Linux kernel to support more than the default eight devices. This is done by giving the “max_loop” parameter to the module when loading it, e.g. with “modprobe loop max_loop=16” on the command line or by adding the line “options loop max_loop=16” to /etc/modules.conf. In Debian, you must put this line into a file named e.g. /etc/modutils/local-loop and then run update-modules because direct changes to /etc/modules.conf will be overwritten. Having mounted the individual images, you can pass the parent directory of their mount points to jigdo-lite for scanning. For example, if the images are mounted under /mnt/myloopmounts/image1/ etc., pass “/mnt/myloopmounts” as the path to scan. If passing the parent dir
