Before the kernel was limited to 256 minor numbers, but I believe this is no longer the case (65536 if I recall correctly). Is there a way around this 8 partition limitation? I understand that simply renumbering all minor numbers is not really a preferred situation as it would require everyone to recreate their device nodes.
