Until you come to repartitioning a disc when you want to keep some of the stuff on it. I've had discs where I wanted to remove the extended partition, and keep the first normal partition, then re-use the rest of the disc. It refused to delete the extended partition because it insisted that there was a virtual partition inside it, but there wasn't. It's a horrid scheme, only surpassed in evilness by the bastard LVM. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.17.8-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Fri Jan 9 00:01:03 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
