[JIRA] (OVIRT-2813) EL8 builds fail to mount loop device - kernel too old?

You may be running out of loop devices, if that's the case, you need to manually mknod them, see https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-node-ng-image/blob/56a2797b5ef84bd56ab95fd...

For vdsm the issue is more tricky, since it requires same host/distro:  49   - tests-py37:  50             runtime-requirements:  51               host-distro: same So I think we need: - make slaves with newer kernel (fc29? fc30?) with the el8 mock env - add el8 slaves for running el8 mock with "host-distro: same"

If we don't have a solution we need to disable el8 tests, or continue testing without storage, which will skip about 200 tests. Nir
