How to add more /dev/loop* devices on Fedora 19? I do:

# uname -r
3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64
# lsmod |grep loop

# ls /dev/loop*
/dev/loop0  /dev/loop1  /dev/loop2  /dev/loop3  /dev/loop4  /dev/loop5  /dev/loop6  /dev/loop7  /dev/loop-control
# modprobe loop max_loop=128
# ls /dev/loop*
/dev/loop0  /dev/loop1  /dev/loop2  /dev/loop3  /dev/loop4  /dev/loop5  /dev/loop6  /dev/loop7  /dev/loop-control

So nothing changes.
