/dev/loop1: [0304]:196812 (ubuntu-live.iso)
root at ubuntu:~# losetup /dev/loop2
/dev/loop2: [0304]:196812 (ubuntu-live.iso)
root at ubuntu:~# losetup /dev/loop3
/dev/loop3: [0304]:196812 (ubuntu-live.iso)
root at ubuntu:~# losetup /dev/loop4
/dev/loop4: [0304]:196812 (ubuntu-live.iso)
root at ubuntu:~# losetup /dev/loop5
/dev/loop5: [0304]:196812 (ubuntu-live.iso)
root at ubuntu:~# losetup /dev/loop6
/dev/loop6: [0304]:196812 (ubuntu-live.iso)
root at ubuntu:~# losetup /dev/loop7
/dev/loop7: [0304]:196812 (ubuntu-live.iso)
