Ah, okay. The Release Notes now offer two workarounds for this problem and I'd be pretty optimistic that an even better solution would be offered for this by the time 11 rolls around. Although you have to admit, "limited" to 15 partitions isn't something very many people would run into.
I would have to agree - maybe someone who's playing around with all sorts will have a need for that many partitions, but for an every day working environment, I use no more than three.
HiPer, Welllll....with these new huge discs, it can be a problem. I run three distros on one drive. I like to make /home /tmp /var & /usr separate. Include the primary / and you have used 15 partitions. Include one swap for all of them and you now have used 16. Actually /swap is on another drive. I still have about 80GB left on that disc and not enough partitions to use it if I continue with my current thinking. What are the three that you use? Are you not afraid of running out of space in the partitions which can grow so fast? Yes, I know, could use LVM but that frightens me when all of the partitions for the different distros are thrown together in one big pool. Maybe I don't understand it well enough so I avoid it. Anyway, 10.3 is an absolute delight. Works great, seems to be really fast. A few small niggling problems like 3D rendering but nothing that cannot be overcome.
