Topic: Do Linux root partitions need to be primary volumes?
Hi, I want to set up a secondary drive for multi-booting (XP Home and various Linux flavors, using the Grub boot loader) and I'd like to know whether *all* potential boot volumes need to be primary volumes or whether the Linux boot volumes can be part of an extended volume as well?
The Grub Manual seems to suggest that all boot volumes need to be primary vols, otherwise Grub wont be able to make them "active" for booting purposes.
If they do need to be primary volumes, I would be limited to 3 boot volumes in total if I use the fourth volume as an extended volume, correct?
