You might consider using LVM as, IIRC, it's not affected by that limit.
But it forces to repartition the entire drive, and I don't feel LVM is as safe.
It's not, which is why I don't use it.
All LVM partitions rely on the filesystem holding the LVM table to remain uncorrupted. Corruption on *THAT* filesystem can very well destroy your LVM partitioning. :-/
Where is that table stored?
In a file... typically somewhere in /etc or /etc/something_or_other
Can it be backed up and restored, perhaps?
Yes.
Does it change often?
