RE: Extended partition creation policy ?
(off list)
I thought to discuss it first (maybe the key people would
claim it is not a bug, so a bug report would be a waste of time,
more or less).
I will file a bug in a day or two, depending on other mail replies.
If you think that is unneccessary and I should file a bug immediately,
plese say so.
Regards,
David
