Hello,
Almost all books and docs say that primary partitions
can
"contain" extended partitions.
1. I don't think primary partitions
can physically contain extended parttitions, b/c we
can
set up only one primary partition as 20mb
and
only one extended partition 30 mb
which is larger than the primary one. So let us do
not say
primary partitions "contain" extended ones, let us say
extended parttions are "associated" w/ primary
ones.
2. Still, my question is: how do know which
extended partitions
are associated to which primary ones? e.g.
hd1
20mb
primary
hd2
34mb
primary
hd5
234mb extended
hd6 100mb
extended
Is hd5 associated to hd1 or hd2? Or we are not
supposed to know this?
The system will keep track of it?
