There have been 3 bug reports so far, that claim increasing the number
of retries allows clean up of loop device
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785251
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734794
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608737
I can't be sure if this is the ideal number of retries, but for many
users it seems to have solved the error
