Hi Andrew, > Is there a max limit to the number of partitions I can have on a > system?
Red Hat has limited the number of partitions per disk fdisk can use/create to 16. This is supposed to be a limitation of SCSI devices, but they have imposed it on IDE disks as well >:-(. This means you can't create more than 16 partitions on a disk before/during installation. If you patch fdisk yourself you can create more partitions on IDE devices after installation. The kernel doesn't mind, it even works allright with multiple extended partitions. It's only an fdisk limitation. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?
