For the last couple of years people have been asking for partition support beyond 15 partitions with the new libata sata driver code.

I think that is in the vanilla kernel now, but I'm not positive. (Tjun Heo of Novell wrote the kernel code to support it and I think it went in to the vanilla kernel a couple months ago.)

I'm not on the factory list, so it may have been discussed there but I was wondering if that limit has now been removed with the 11.1 Beta 3 release?

If not, are the any bugzillas addressing this. ie. The problems should now be in user space, not kernel space.

I installed beta 3 this weekend, and I have many partitions. I was surprised that the partitioner recognized and used all my partitions without complain or entering any parameters. But my system is PATA. The installed system has no "strange" parameter in grub's kernel line. And it uses /dev/hda, not /sda -- so my guess is that it is using the "old" method automatically, not the "new". However, I think the place to ask this is in factory, the devs may be there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
