I am quite confuse with the PC hard disk partition. After reading
some manual and info from the web, I am still confuse. I have some
problem with install linux on a extended partiton before, not sure is
the HD problem or the configuration. For safety now I install linux only
on the primary partition.
Few question to ask here:
1. PC HD can have only 4 primary partiton, but unlimited extended
partition?
2. In Dos/Windows fdisk, I am able to create Primary and extended
partition, but the extended partition show in Dos/Windows fdisk is same
with the linux extended partition?
3. If I already use up two partition for my Windows system, am I able
to create another three partition(1 for linux system, 1 for user data, 1
for swap) for linux since PC HD support only 4 primary partition.
4. max size for linux swap partition is 16, and max no of linux swap
partiton is 8. Kernal 2.0 and 2.2 still having this limit?
Thanks.
