Linux System Administration
Filesystems (Continued)
In order to overcome the problem of only four partitions being allowed,
extended partitions
were created.
This allows you to break up a primary partition into smaller partitions.
This primary partition is called the extended partition
These smaller partitions contained within the extended partition are called
logical partitions
.
In this setup,
hda1, hda2, hda3 are primary partitions
hda4 is an extended partition
hda5m hda6, hda7 are logical partitions.
