| 12 |
idea of a partition table that only accepts four partitions, has to be |
| 13 |
kludged to use one of those as a container if you want more, has no |
| 14 |
simple way of backing up such a complex partition setup and has no |
| 15 |
redundancy in case of partition table corruption, fdisk and DOS are |
