I won't write down all, but may make a few suggestions as I think of
them. As you already alluded to (sorry, I didn't quote that part), it
should cover the limitations on number of partitions. IIRC, it is 63
partitions on and IDE disk and 16 on a SCSI disk, but those are only
the limits I'm aware of--there may be others.
Oh, and partition labels (don't know too much about them myself, but,
iiuc, you can assign labels to partitions, then have them assigned to
mount points based on their labels?)
