Until you come to repartitioning a disc when you want to keep some of
the stuff on it.  I've had discs where I wanted to remove the extended
partition, and keep the first normal partition, then re-use the rest of
the disc.  It refused to delete the extended partition because it
insisted that there was a virtual partition inside it, but there wasn't.

It's a horrid scheme, only surpassed in evilness by the bastard LVM.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
