But there is a problem with 20 GByte partitions since IF you create the
maximum number of patitions, you can have only 3 primary (1-3) and then
the 12 logical partions (5-12) which are in summary 15 partitions.

So a singel HDD can not have more then 300 GByte or 150 GByte in a
Raid-5 with 3 HDD's.

Assuming that manypeoples swithing to 1 TByte drives which will result
in (a minimal Raid-5) in 2 TByte and 136 GByte per partition.

And if I do not need ANY primary partitions, WHY can I only create 12
logical ones (5-12) and lost the first 4?  There is no way to get more
then 12 logical partitions...
