If you look at the device numbers for sda16 and sdb under linux I think you will see why. For some reason the kernel only allows 15 partitions for SCSI drives. Of course, there may be some way to create new partitions that I don't know of, now that the kernel has increased from 16 bit device numbers. (I just checked, and the makedev documentation still states that only 15 partions are allowed.) -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
