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?
Yes. However, for the same price, SCSI drives tend to be significantly smaller. Typically if someone is buying 500GB SCSI drives, they're using it for a huge corporate-wide data-base, and using LVM anyways.
You might consider using LVM as, IIRC, it's not affected by that limit.
