[Bug 498174] [NEW] Maximum number of 8 loopback devices low for SC

[Torsten Spindler]

Public bug reported:

The default Ubuntu kernel provides only 8 loopback devices. Setting more
is possible with the max_loop=<number> on the kernel boot parameters
line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. It would be great if this can be done
automagically for a host configured as Storage Controller.

Background is that we had a training class this week where with 6
students creating volumes we were running out of volumes quickly. I
realise that this might happen in larger clouds with many instances much
faster.
