After that, 1st (easy) part of my patch can go away, but 2nd (main part: converting offsets from absolute to slice-relative and removal those "partitions" which are just aliases for our slices) will still stand. As for me, I'm for MAXPARTITIONS bump. Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry_at_atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPEReceived on Fri Mar 17 2006 - 12:05:40 UTC
