 Is there a limit to the number of partitions Puppy can "see" |
|
Hi all,
Currently running 2 derivatives of 431 (KDESlax and NOP) and 1 derivative of 525 (Reborn pup) I have ran several other puplets over the years. Something i have noticed in every case is that Puppy never sees any partitions on my hard drive with an identifier higher than sda15. I currently am up to sda 18 on my drive, however puppy cannot see them with pmount nor when i go to install. However gparted within puppy can see them. Other linux distros that i have installed have no problems seeing all my partitions. Is this a limitation of Puppy, or just something specific to my setup? My hd is partitioned as follows:
sda1-Primary
sda2-Extended
sda5-Swap
sda6-Puppy
sda7-Storage for VirtualBox images
sda8-VectorLinux
sda9-Puppy
sda10-currenly empty
sda11-PCLinuxOS
sda12-Puppy
sda13-Data Storage
sda14-Ultimate Edition
sda15-ExpressLinux
sda16-BlackBuntu
sda17-AV Linux
sda18-ZorinOS
sda1 is NTFS, sda5 is swap, sda13 is FAT32, and all the rest are reiserfs filesystem. The puppies that i have installed as well as ones i run off live cds can never see any of my partitions past sda15. Any ideas why this is? Thanks.

For a first overview you could read here :

Do not use these scripts, they are computer specific. I display them for the purpose of showing ways of doing unusual mounts and unmounts which maybe Puppy can't do. And they are easy to use. And fstab is filled in. Primarily I want to show that we don't need to rely on Puppy mount utilities when our system gets complex beyond their designs.
