People with SATA disks are forced to use the new interface, limited to 14 partitions.
Though I personally doubt that there are many users that really need more then that. And even if, the kpartx trick should help getting more then 14 partitions mounted.
Well, I think that you would be surprised Phillipp. There are certainly enough of us that we should be considered. And why must we resort to "tricks" to gain the functionality that we had without "tricks". Tell me, what good is a 250 or 500 GB hard drive with only 14 partitions. I run several different OS's (four) plus several different iterations of SuSE. I like to try them all and experiment/compare them. I always make separate partitions for /home, /tmp, /var, and /usr/local because I believe that is the smart way to do it. Let's not get into the why's that I think that is smart. Now add the /swap and the /master partition and start to multiply. Please don't get into the Microsoft mode of thinking that the latest (or previous) SuSE is all that you need or may want. Linux is about freedom. Please don't be telling us what is best for us. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
