Not at all. PATA, SATA, and SCSI are all using SCSI commands, so SCSI emulation is now used by the kernel driver, limiting the number of partitions to 16. This change comes from libata, and is in effect if your disks are named /dev/sdx rather than /dev/hdx. Only ask your question once. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynel...@georgeanelson.com> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
