Is there a max limit to the number of partitions I can have on a
system? I have a RAID 1 system disk array and a large RAID 5 data
array. I would like to cut up the data array into some number of
partitions. I thought I heard of the max being 15 partitions for both
system and data. Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Red Hat has limited the number of partitions per disk fdisk can use/create to
16. This is supposed to be a limitation of SCSI devices, but they have imposed
it on IDE disks as well :-(.
This means you

Actually, it's Linux that imposes the limits and they are 15 partitions on a SCSI device and 63 partitions on an IDE device
Hi Gordon,
Depends on your controller. You can have up to 15 partitions on a SCSI
disk, 7 on a DAC RAID controller, and apparently (judging from the
device files) up to 32 on an IDE disk.
The number 32 is just an arbitrary limitation. The number used to be 16 on
RH, but I never had any
