No, please use volume mangement instead of normal partitions if you need more than 15 "partitions". The SCSI/SATA standard defines a limit of 15 partitions and upstream didn't accept patches which annul this limit, see for example http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue42 => http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0411.1/1098.html regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
