With above Sandisk, you only need RDB installed filesystem that uses direct scsi mode. No more boot drive size limits, no 4G partition limits etc..

However I think I'm still going for a 16GB card. Is it correct that if I don't create more than 2 partitions of 2GB each I should be ok? (I know it sounds like a waste but in the future I might try creating larger size partitions, just not a priority at the moment).
It would be very big waste of RAM (filesystem buffers, each partition needs own buffer) and all those partitions make volume/device selection requesters annoying to use...
