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. :-(
Nice of the kernel devs to decide what is best for all of us.
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. -- So here we sit. Guys like Carlos and I with big drives several OS's and no space to use those big drives in a proper, useful and safe manner. I have 125 GB of free space and two partitions to put 11.0 on. I really don't think anyone cares and they do whatever they want without considering the consequences. It really ticked me off when all of my drives were renumbered.
