But actual partitions? Without some sort of volume management? I have 27 |
| 16 |
btrfs subvolumes on one system, but I wouldn't want to do that with |
| 17 |
partitions. And you don't find yourself wishing for more with a volume |
| 18 |
manager, just create whatever you need... which is how I reached 27. |
