There is another problem coming: the new limit of no more than 15
partitions per ata disk (pata and sata) :-(
I like using several partitions for my system: /boot, /home, /usr,
/usr/local, /usr/src, /opt, /data, /cryptodata... plus partitions for "the
competition", tests systems; partitions for some programs, like vmware
dedicated partition, another for amule or similar.... I'm well over the 15
limit.

It shouldn't. The only problem I have is that during system update, Yast
sometimes forgets to mount all needed partitions and may run out of space
unless I take action.
