This will create a 2 GB logical partition at the beginning of the free space on the disk and assign it the drive letter F:, provided that space requirements are met.

Even though other systems may be physically on the same network, unless they are in the same logical partition, they won't be able to access partitioned resources.

A hard disk may contain only one extended partition; the extended partition can be subdivided into multiple logical partitions.

In DOS/Windows systems, each logical partition may then be assigned an additional drive letter.

Both are therefore not contained inside any of the logical partitions or volumes.

On the System z10, and with the appropriate version of z/VM, a single logical partition (LPAR) can now span all processor types.

Linux can be installed into a partition in any position on the hard drive and can also be installed into logical partitions (within the extended partition).

If Linux is installed into a logical partition within the extended partition, it is unaffected by changes in the primary partitions.

The first entry of an EBR partition table points to the logical partition belonging to that EBR:

This shows an extended partition with 6,000 sectors and 3 logical partitions.
