Should we, as a community, take some steps to ensure best experience for our Susers ? (SUSE users) :) One thing that comes to mind, is to symlink (or even hardlink?) sda block devices to hda files, so that suser's transition will be transparent.
I really think this is a non-issue; there is a long existing solution to this problem: LVM. Drives are scanned and assigned to volume groups dynamically. Use LVM.
This will NOT solve the 15-partitions problem, but this *will* save
I strongly suspect that 15 partitions per drives is *extremely* rare. Use LVM and you can carve up your disks as many ways as you want.
all the fstabs, backup scripts and other system software from braking with a new openSUSE release. This should be made as a backward-compatibility measure.
