I don't think this will happen in order to scratch this pretty unusual itch. One way you can solve it for yourself is by rewriting (with dd) the first sector that contains the partition table and rebooting. So you can have two "views" on to the rest of the storage exposing just the partitions you want in each view. That'd get you 14 partitions and the ability to share eg /home between the two views and so all OSes. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkm2D0UACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqzsACfWLdYbmGna8SJCtjbXcZBDymz nXEAoIWexd4ybdCAL0f1HeE/FhtgQTMK =hECL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
