That the order partitions were created in are not in numerical sequence. e.g. You'd divided a disk into three partitions (1, 2 & 3). Later on, you carved the middle one (2) up into two partitions, and it's now partitions 2 (original shrunk) and 4 (additional one). Giving you a disc with partitions on the drive in this order: 1, 2, 4, 3. Generally, this is not a problem. Partitions can be numbered out of sequence It's often just a warning that things won't be in the obvious order. So what you think will be /dev/sda3 or (hd0,2) may not be what you think they are. The partitions aren't numbered (in this situation) based on how far they are from the start of the disc, but the order in which they're created. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
