Partition advice - smoreau - 30th October 2016
I am preparing the installation of Maui 2 on my tower (all my data are here).
I have actually one primary (sda1 "/") and two logical (swap and /home). Is it really neccesary to have extended partitions.
Will it be more efficient to only have three primary partitions on this machine which is completely dedicated to linux ?
Thanks for your suggestions.

The limit on non gpt partitionscheme is 4 primary partitions. This means with 3 primary partitions you are good to go as you can still create one that can be used as extended partition for logical ones aswell later on if necessary

Thanks Leszek, that's clear, I will choose the 3 primary partitions.
