16 partitions is a ridiculous limit, a step back to worse; present day bigger
disks are likely to have more partitions than ever. Testers, for instance, need
several partitions per tested OS (like 10.2, 10.3, ubuntu, windows, etc). Even
some applications prefer their own partitions.
There are people using more than 40 (see Bug 218122#c8). A solution has to be
found. Perhaps use something different than scsi. According to
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-08/msg01741.html, that is indeed what
some think and are designing:
] Libata being a part of scsi is considered a major shortcoming. The
] plan according to the lkml-ide list is to eventually seperate it out
] into its own infrastructure. Maybe use a /dev/diskX type of naming
] convention.
