Yeah, when they made the switch there were a bunch of us screaming about the partition limitation. We were told, "Don't Worry" that will be fixed. I've got half of a 250 GB disk that I wanted to install SUSE 11 on but only three partitions. That ain't gonna work!
The kernel devs apparently think lvm and dm are able to provide solutions, that it isn't the job of the kernel to provide backward compatibility for upgrading systems that already have partitions >15. :-(
Has anybody heard anything?? Somebody really working on it?
Rumour has it Device Mapper has the capability, but no pointer to comprehensible docs on how to use dm for the purpose have crossed my path. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
