Limitations on the partition of linux
Hi,
I need a documentation about limitations on the linux partition. On how many primary and extended I could create. And also on different type of storage, how many big capacity I can create. Thanks. |

generally you can have 4 primary partitions per physical disk. However, you can "exchange" the 4th primary (and it is more common to do so) to create a container for logical partitions which is the extended partition.
Limitations on file systems will relate to each individual file system type. here's some more info: Primary Extended and Logical Partitions Understanding Primary, Logical & Extended Partitions |
