"Linux allows up to four (4) partitions on one disk. If you wish to create
more than that, one of the four may be an extended partition, which acts as
a container for one or more logical partitions. Since it acts as a
container, the extended partition must be at least as large as the total
size of all the logical partitions it is to contain." pg 51 RHL 5.1
