Subject: big count of sda-partitions
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 15:13:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46A61702.7040702@mail.informatik.uni-essen.de> (raw)

Hello,
I have the bad and stressig problem to use a lot of partitions (>16) on 
our hardwareraid,3ware 9590SE-16ML,  >2 TB, debian-etch, 2.6.18-4-amd64.
I have compiled parted, use the gpt-Partitiontable (theoretical for >2TB 
and 128 Partitions) . I have tested with 14 partitions with no problems. 
I use udev, like it,  and have succesfull name the disks with it. (2 
internal, 1 hw-raid).
The kernel-config of this debian-etch has CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED=y, 
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y,
By creating the partitions for the final production-system with parted, 
no errors first,  with more partitions, which I can create in parted 
without errors (but not delete!),  I  can only see sda1-15Partition 
under /dev. Also reboot makes no chances. I see the parameter 
/sys/block/sda/range = 16. Changes this by echo (example:echo 21 
 >/sys/block/sda/range) are not approved. Is that the tuning-parameter? 
How can I increase the number of partitions for udev? Or is this the 
total wrong place? I have searched in the web and kernel-sources, but 
nobody seems to have the same problem or interest for using a lot of 
partitions under linux.
ThankYou very much,
with best regards,
Christina
