NetVault Bare Metal Recovery 11.4 - User Guide for Plug-ins

NOTE: If a disk is comprised of four primary partitions, the fourth partition is automatically converted to an extended logical partition during the recovery. Having a fourth primary partition inhibits the ability to add more partitions to the disk later. By converting the fourth partition to a logical one, you can use additional space on a hard disk to create future partitions, for example, if the recovery is being performed to disk that is larger than the original. There is no data loss associated with this behavior. You are alerted to this fact during the boot routine in a dialog box of the System Installation for Linux; for details on this process, see Booting the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the appropriate OS and drivers for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux.
