Well, I have my doubts that you have a need now, but firstly you can use b if you want, and if that's not enough (which it surely is), and if you're using a PC, you can create 4 slices in Microsoft partitions and put 7 partitions in each, for a total of 28 partitions. If you think even that isn't enough, you can make the whole disk a Vinum drive and create as many volumes as you like. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
