Fedora 11 and Solaris10 both "Flip The Bird" To DDS || What Other OS's? ||

Thread needs solution

i had been made to understand that DDS and *Solaris10* do not mutually recognize each other -- that Solaris10 has its own partitioning machinery and will *reject* DDS-created partitions.

But i now learn that *Fedora 11* has the same attitude: it too will reject DDS-created partitions and install where it damn well wants, and consume as much turf as it wants (the attached shows that Fedora11 created 220GB of *primary* partitioning; and rejected the 23GB DDS-created *logical* partition.)

i at first reasoned that this issue was not within DDS's purview -- but rather a matter exclusively confined to Fedora: https://forum.acronis.com/node/7683/edit -- but i am now thinking otherwise.

if these 2 OS's -- and likely more to be discovered -- insist on using their own partitioning machinery, and reject DDS partitioning, then i am effectively discarding that storage that is DDS-partitioned!

so what OS's will still install into DDS-created partitions?

Hello Neal Weissman,

Thank you for your post. I will be glad to assist you.

Acronis Disk Director does not support Solaris OS I am afraid. I believe that Alexander replied to one of your earlier posts regarding Fedora installation issues. The initial issue with partition alignment and installation of Fedora 11 is caused by Linux.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
