So, I've been mounting .iso(s) onto /media/cdrom to install a game, but when it asks me to swap a cd again, it says mount: could not find any free loop device. So how do I free it up?

you installing a game through wine? if so, open a terminal
if not, you exausted the free loop devices. Free one (umount any in use) and try again. You can see what is being used by a loop device with losetup:Code:wine eject
Code:# losetup /dev/loop0
But after I see what's there, how do I free up the loop space?
