I made this change (to 512, since I have that many mount points), and it worked for a while, but now I am getting mount failures and the message
Nov 30 11:30:00 weber kernel: VFS: Sorry, out of unnamed devices Nov 30 11:30:59 weber last message repeated 28 times Nov 30 11:31:45 weber last message repeated 40 times
