How to raise max partitions number seen by Maemo
I have repartitioned my eMMC and now I have 10 partitions on it.
Partition managers like sfdisk and parted correctly see all partitions but unfortunately Maemo recognizes only first seven partitions (no /dev/mmcblk0p8, /dev/mmcblk0p9, /dev/mmcblk0p10). I think it is something related to udev's configuration, but where is the value to change ? |

Another option is to use dm (device mapper) which can move all partitioning to user space. See kpartx. |

So since one partition slot is lost by extended partition the max number under N900 is six partitions.:mad: This is a big problem for my plans:mad: |

I have changed my partition table to this layout (but I am unhappy for this):

I am afraid you don't understand.
Device mapper is a kernel subsystem that allows creating virtual block devices and mapping them to real devices. You can for example create a device called /dev/dm9 which is a device of size 4GB starting at 24GB of /dev/mmcblk0. This way, even if you don't have an mmc block device for this partition, you can still use it. kpartx is a tool that automates this. You point it to a block device, and it creates a dm device for each partition on the device, regardless of partition number limitations of the underlying block device driver. |
