I had to do this kind of thing before, but I don't remember loading "loop" module with options. I think "losetup" does it or with some options.
Some distributions may setup default arguments for loop to enable partitions automatically. Certainly looking on debian, with loop loaded, max_part and max_loop are 0 when I look at /sys/module/loop/parameters. However I do see if I run losetup -P /dev/loop0 test.img, it does in fact enable partitions so it seems things have been improved in the kernel. If max_part is non zero however, it auto scans for partitions, without needing the -P option to losetup. But saves reloading the module. -- Len Sorensen
