Are device mapper & kpartx not employed to make BIOS and software RAID work? If so, it would seem that one at least theoretically could avoid the libata 14 partition limit by just using RAID? Any thoughts by those in the know?
The raid device major number is 9, and it appears the limit for the numbers is the "minor", ie, 255. But as the raid is created out of existing partitions... we have the 15 partition limit per disk. But there is another question. I think that a software raid device might be partitioned - but I haven't tried. At least fdisk reads it, but as I say, I haven't tried to create them. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
