This isn't making any sense. If the order of the cinders is irrelevant what is the underlying logic.
The partition numbers depends on where in a table is each partition listed. There are four entries, the first one is numbered "one" - even if it is physically the last partition in the disk. The table is boss, pysical layout is arbitrary. Kind of.
Are you saying that the whole thing gets re-written on every edit?
No.
But surely it has to. When I shrank the second partition and put a new one in there ... Are you saying the table entry existed anyway? Its not about a table, its a bout 'slots'? Does it have some way of telling zero from a blank entry? (larry wall apropos quote goes here) Well a 'slots' approach begs the question about the number of slots for the partition in the extended partition. Only one extended partition, you say ...
And the sofware will not get confused by that. Only us ;-)
Well that last statement is certainly true!
