I'd really be interested in a survey as to how many people really do need/use more then those 16 partitions!
14, not 16: Only 0-15 fit within the SCSI major/minor dev constraint, of which 0 is the whole disk, and one of 1-4 is the extended, which also can host no filesystem. Under this roof there are 15 functional systems with more than 14 partitions (up to 67 per, most with only 1 HD), 10 with fewer than 15 (some with more than 1 HD), and 4 USB/eSATA disks used to backup with up to 74 each. LVM is used on 1 system used mainly for testing LVM matters. -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry." Ephesians 4:26 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
