Well there must be one level of indirection on first access, since the |
| 10 |
start of the logical partition has to be looked up in a "primary" |
| 11 |
partition, but I can't imagine that being needed more than once per |
| 12 |
reboot. |

FWIW I use primaries for /boot, primary swap and (often) / but can't for |
| 15 |
anything else. I do this to obtain more accessible partitions because I |
| 16 |
used to try to cram several distros into one box. |
