Trivia department:
The partition table has 4 slots for primary partitions. The extended
takes up one of those as ad6s1, but an extended partition is a little
like a linked list. The first logical partition in the exended is 5, one
beyond the last possible primary number. The next slot in the extended
(I think there are only 2) can be used for the second logical drive or
point to another extended partition. Extended partitions can go on like
this until you've used up 26 drive letters.

1. Partitions inside extended partition
Hello all,
I was just wondering whether there is a limit to the number of
partitions (FAT and ext2) I can have inside a big extended partition.
Thanks.
