I have only nominal familiarity with partitioning tools other than that which I've been using cross-platform for two decades exclusively, DFSee[1], which is not FOSS. Because DFSee can make this conversion, I have to think others can do it as well. > In my view/with my understanding: if you ever get in the position/the need to > do an new install with new partioning your /home on an logical partition is in > danger. - maybe I'm wrong ?! - > If you move to GUID partioning you circumvent the barrier of 4 primary > partions > OR 3 prim. plus x logical. That's 4 primaries: 3 normal primaries, plus a primary called extended. It is the extended which "contains" logicals. The extended is actually a chain of sectors that delineate one logical partition, and optionally point to a next sector in the extended chain. > You simply get more then 4 primary partitions. - don't know the limit - IIRC, 256. > you need a partition named "Bios Boot" with 1-2 MB size as a first (?) > partition. Technically, much less than 1MB is needed, but not using a multiple of 1MB would normally disrupt conventional partitioning's sector alignment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_boot_partition [1] http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
