The additional calculations would only be during mount of the filesystem on the partition. I prefer to only use primary partitions because I am always messing with them and they are easier to keep track of when they are all defined in one place, sector 0,0,0. I usually use Norton diskedit

Primary vs. Extended partitions

1997-05-13 Thread Eloy A. Paris
Hi, the docs. in /usr/doc/lilo are very good to understand the concept of primary and extended partitions (and the logical partitions contained in these extended partitions). However, I would like to know if there is any perfomance hit if extended partitions are used instead of primary partitions.
