My disks average upwards of 20 partitions each, a number which continues to climb. This 24/7 system has two disks, with 43 and 18 partitions. My other 24/7 system has 1 disk with 22 partitions. There's simply no way for those numbers to be reduced as long as disk sizes keep escalating.
If you need so many partitions, why are you not using LVM?
I have no knowledge of any way LVM could do anything but increase complication. My backup strategy is heavily dependent on cloning disks and partitions across 20 machines as much as 8-10 years old having various multiboot mixtures of OS/2, DOS, doz, and Linux. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped."
