Description Lisa Rojas 2001-06-01 17:01:41 UTC
Description of Problem:
When installing a new server with 7.1, I found a nasty little bug.  I accidentally put 16 partitions on a scsi drive.
neither fdisk OR diskdruid caught the error. The installation went fine until it came time to format the new filesystems. 
then it just hung.  Out of curiosity I used a boot diskette to see what happened and it appeared that with the exception of /,
none of the extended partitions got mounted.  They did have entries in fstab, just not in mtab.  At the very least, disk druid 
ought to error out when you try to give a mount point to sda#'s that are over the scsi limitation.
