I'd say at most 20% of Fedora users care about partition numbers, and in the world it's tiny less than 1%. There really aren't many partition ninjas in the world. But I suggest filing a bug because the current behavior isn't going to change by complaining about it here. The other thing is that this problem is obviated if you use LVM or Btrfs. It only happens with standard partitions, in which case you're probably better off using gparted or blivet-gui to create the partitions you want in advance if the order matters. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
