...; - then the given statement resolves multiple loop devices, so even if the device "13" would be already used, the checking of the sharing reports multiple loop devices (loop device corresponding with all such inodes like 1356984, 13, 1369336) what leads in the next processing in function check_sharing to the wrong evaluation and report the device 13 can be used again. The solution of this problem is (at least in my case it helped, but I think this could be a general solution of the output of "losetup -a" is always the same) to modify the statement above like follows: shared_list=$(lo...
