Here is my partition table for /dev/hdc:
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 784 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 1 784 6297448+ 5 Extended
/dev/hdc5 1 26 208782 83 Linux
/dev/hdc6 27 154 1028128 83 Linux
/dev/hdc7 155 164 80293 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdc8 165 611 3590495+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc9 612 694 666665+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc10 695 784 722893 83 Linux
As ou can see, /dev/hdc10 exists but there are only 7 partitions.
The numbers 2-4 are not used (They are the four allowed primary
partitions). I don't know anything about a limit, but it sounds
likely.
