u can make it primary partition and it will work without any problem
extended partition is only a container for the logical drives..
if i make mmcblk0p4 as primary partition, then i will only have 4 partitions..mainly mmcblk0p1(MyDocs), mmcblk0p2(home), mmcblk0p3(swap) and the newly partitioned mmcblk0p4...
quoted from http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/...titions-c.html (please read the full article for full understanding)
A maximum of four partitions can be placed on any hard disk. These are sometimes called primary partitions. The limitation of four is one that is imposed on the system by the way that the master boot record is structured.
In total you can only create 4 partitions on a hard disk, that's why you also have the possibility to create an extended partition. An extended partition can be divided in many logical drives, which makes it possible to have more then four virtual partitions. It's wise to create one primary partition for Windows and one extended partition and to split up the extended partition into different logical drives.

hey mido buddy i guess i have run into some problems.As you know i have been telling you that i want to partition my EMMC using the instructions given on the link below. (Post #1588)
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1652293/+1587#
Now when i follow those instructions through GParted on my Ubuntu 10.10 u will see what i get in the 3rd screenshot.
The first & second screenshot is of my present N900 setup. I have used ur 8GB custom EMMC that is why my home is 8gb
Now my question is I want to partition MyDocs which i think is mmcblk0p1 into 3 partitions i.e one for NITDroid 0.0.9,second for ur custom gingerbread one(the lastest one of the two) & third partition which i will later install Meego 1.2.
Can you show me how i can partition MyDocs to 3 partitions: 4GB for 0.0.9, 4Gb for Gingerbread & remaining 3GB left for Meego 1.2 later. After all these partition MyDocs should be left with 10GB if my maths is correct.
Please can you help me out here bro???
Thanks for all the help you have given me so far...

@ funkmunk
u should choose the device memory from the riht side first
then partition it as u want
but remembr that 2 giga for android is enough
