I don't have a need for that many partitions, so this is not a problem for me, I just found it interesting. I think it would be a minor change in YaST to use kpartx, but only for systems with more than 15 partitions. Possibly with a disclaimer of "unsupported etc". Just like for JFS file system.
I would certainly prefer "supported" somehow.
Certainly - so would I (in the case of JFS), but sometime we have to accept a reasonable compromise.
There are bugs on supported software that takes years to correct, so one on an unsupported software would stay unsolved for decades.
Well, it would only be the support in YaST that would come under "not officially supported". The software itself (device mapper etc) is subject to normal open source support. (or lack thereof). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
