Re: Primary vs Logical Partitions?

Lea Gris spake thusly :
James Taji a écrit :

Not exactly, an extended partition IS a primary partition. 1 of the 4
primary partitions can be an extended partition.ing a partition table

Exactly, and, if you intend on using a whole disk, there is no real need
in adding partitions at all. Just create the filesystem on the root
block device like /dev/hdb instead /dev/hdb1 ... 2 ... 3

Avoiding a partition table wil save a few blocks and will save
boundaries limitations affecting partition start and end.

Hey! Thanks for that. :)
