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!
Has anybody heard anything?? Somebody really working on it? I'll bet not, and we will all be left stuck with this "improvement".
While in some ways I agree with your sentiments, the question I have is what would you do if that was a SCSI drive? Wouldn't that limit still apply regardless?
You might consider using LVM as, IIRC, it's not affected by that limit.
Well I have several different OS's in different versions on 3 different drives. I still have 10.2 running and it is on LVM. When I installed 10.3 I was going to use LVM also until I saw that it wanted to combine the 10.2 and the 10.3 volumes. Backed out of that proposal quickly. I want my versions separate and clean.
