OK, here is the final code:

https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-container.git;a=blob;f=src/PVE/LXCCreate.pm;h=7366be460488fe0cf1266802a43c2dbe332fc31d;hb=5b4657d05eab58d04a41e502c03b7f8f23b60bab

I implemented the loop mount case as example. Not sure if I miss something, but
this also works with unprivileged containers.

But loop devices are limited - 7 by default, so that is not really usable.
Is there a way to use more loop devices dynamically?
