-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This was fixed in Ubuntu with 16-dos-partitions.patch:
From: Phillip Susi <[email protected]> Subject: Fix > 16 dos partitions Description: The msdos partition table claimed a maximum partition count of 16 but would allow you to go beyond that. This resulted in the kernel not being informed of those partitions. Corrected to enforce the limit and raise the limit to 64 partitions.
