Comment 2 for bug 498174

Actually, we have the following in the eucalyptus-nc upstart script:

        for i in $(seq 0 31); do
                [ -b /dev/loop$i ] || (mknod -m 660 /dev/loop$i b 7 $i
&& chown root:disk /dev/loop$i)
        done

I'll add it to the eucalyptus-sc upstart script as well.

Or perhaps just put it in the common one.
