so I can remove the question from the mini-HOWTO.</para>
<sect2 id="scanmultipleimages"><title>For image updates, I want jigdo-lite to scan 14
loop-mounted images in one go. How can I do this?</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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 "<literal>max_loop</literal>"
parameter to the module when loading it, e.g. with "<literal>modprobe loop
max_loop=16</literal>" on the command line or by adding the line "<literal>options loop
max_loop=16</literal>" to <filename>/etc/modules.conf</filename>. In Debian, you must put
this line into a file named e.g. <filename>/etc/modutils/local-loop</filename> and then run
<command>update-modules</command> because direct changes to
<filename>/etc/modules.conf</filename> will be overwritten.</para>
<para>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 <filename
role="directory">/mnt/myloopmounts/image1/</filename> etc., pass "<filename
role="directory">/mnt/myloopmounts</filename>" as the path to scan. If passing the parent
directory is inconvenient, you can also create a directory and fill it with symlinks to the
mount points.</para>
