Hello,

We all know that we can only have 8 ufs partitions in one freebsd slice. 
Since OpenBSD and NetBSD can support at most 32 partitions iirc.

I wonder why FreeBSD still lacks more ufs partitions in one slice?

Is there any plan to grow up max partitions or every work is dedicated 
to ZFS?

Kind regards,
