I haven't seen a document explaining it. Is it supported by Yast installer/updater?
Not that I know of - but when device-mapper is supported (for builtin/fake RAID for instance), it seems like a minor thing to also support >15 partitions in the same way.
It may be a minor thing for you, but for me it is major - I have no idea how to use that. And of course, it has to be supported by the installer/upgrader, else the system can get hosed, or even not installable.

- use hwprobe=-modules.pata - #9: proposes using dm_linear, (this) "will invoke kpartx which in turn will generate device-mapper tables for all partitions on that drive" - activate_dm_linear - #32 says: "the activate_dm_linear support does not work as documented. This needs some more work for 11.0." (AJ).
Sounds like something is already under way here.
Maybe, but I have no news of developments on that area. And there is this comment in Bug 309070#13: ] The plan to use kpartx to create DM maps ] instead of kernel partitions create IMHO more problems than it solves. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
