As far as Mess-DOS is (was?) concerned, you could have three extended partitions; the first entry in the MBR must be a primary partition, but after that all is fair game. Linux probably couldn't care less, but your BIOS may. LVM may or may not be a better way to go, depending on your disaster recovery software and requirements. > > -- > Stuart Jansen e-mail/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > google talk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at > the results." -- Winston Churchill > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
