This is the actual error I get , I thought it was missing loop device - I
dont think that any more - but dont know what this error is.
/mnt/iso is valid


mount -t iso9660 -o loop ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso  /mnt/iso/
mount: /mnt/iso/: failed to setup loop device for
ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso.

ls -l /mnt
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 21  2023 iso
