Hello,
Hello,
We all know that we can only have 8 ufs partitions in one freebsd
slice. Since OpenBSD and NetBSD can support at most 32 partitions
iirc.
I wonder why FreeBSD still lacks more ufs partitions in one slice?
Is there any plan to grow up max partitions or every work is
dedicated to ZFS?
hmmm, isn't already done in 8.X ?
from what's cooking for FreeBSD 8.0

bsdlabel gets extended to 26 partitions
Status: Committed to -CURRENT
Will appear in 8.0: sure
Author: Marcel Moolenaar
Web: commit message
bsdlabel is (finally!) extended to support more than 8 partitions. The
new limit of 26 partitions comes from the number of lower-case letters.
To make use of this change, GEOM_PART needs to be used instead of
GEOM_BSD (this is default in 8.0 but will not work with older kernels).
I don't have GEOM_PART in my kernel, but if you said it's default it
should be pulled in.
Regards.

re-edit the label? [y]:
I'm on 8.1-RELEASE.
To make use of such feature you need to recreate table with gpart(8).
bsdlabel is not going to work.
