Well, they can assign developers to scsi and develop patches that add support for more than 16 partitions to scsi modules. If technically possible, of course (I don't know what is the origin of that limit). Or invent something different than scsi for both scsi and ata.
iirc, original scsi design had 8 channels and a later extended version had 16, but you were only able to utilize 7/15 of those as the scsi system needed the 0 channel for itself. BUT, I *am* approaching the age where facts may not necessarily be facts anymore :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
