How many partitions does SCSI support?

SCSI does not care about partitions. This is only the protocol used to interface with the harddisk. There is probably a practical limit to the possible number of partitions on your SCSI drive. This is limited by its size mostly. Normal limitations on partitions is something like 3 Primary partitions and one extended of which can contain more logical partitions. However not being 100% sure about limitations I find it logical to be about 127 or 255. In any case more than what is practical for most uses. It is greatly dependent upon which operatingsystem you use. A partition is only controlled via software or even software in hardware. Designing software for it, and you can easily have thousands of "partitions". it is like having a book. If you write the book yourselves, you decide how many chapters this book will consist of. You decide the size of each chapter.
