I forget, but I don't think *anyone* has more than 20 (on most Macs, the first 7 contain drivers etc), so 20 x sizeof(partition) (see above URL). > Note: I'm not adding HFS support at this stage - it's a LOT of work. > So you'll be able to resize ext2 partitions in the near future, but > not HFS partitions :-/ Unless there are some volunteers... There seems to be a shortage of HFS folks these days. :) But ext2 resizing sounds very cool. -Hollis P.S. Can't get you a real map right now, but email me later if you want it. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
