linux - What is the maximum number of partitions with EFI?

I was wondering what is the maximum number of partition on an GPT-partitionned drive under Linux.


The GPT partition table can contain up to 128 partitions, but the device nodes for /dev/sda? (as described here, block device of major number 8) only allow /dev/sda1 up to /dev/sda15.


Does that means that there cannot be more that 15 partitions on a drive, even on a GPT-partitionned drive?
