I'm working with XenServer 5.5u2, which is basically CentOS 5. I'm having trouble creating a partition. I should still have free space in the extended partition, but it won't let me create any more logical partitions.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is this a bug in fdisk?
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 1999.8 GB, 1999844147200 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243133 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I'd say fdisk bug...

Enabling the CentOS repositories and updating the util-linux package fixed this.
