how do i re-allocate partition numbers ? in the image, partition 2 is hda10 how do i syncronise the entrys (partition 1 = hda1,partition 2 = hda2, partition 3 = hda3 etc. etc.)[ot]going to try xandros again[/ot]
The /dev placement is their physical placement as relative to the current / partition. You can't change it, because that's how the OS sees it. Besides, why would you want to? What's important to you should be where it's mounted, which you can change easily.
well if you look at the original pic, hda10 is placed between hda1 and hda5, because is was the last partition i created, but i would like to call it hdax, but if it's not possible, i'll just have to live with it.
Yeah, it's not possible that I know of, but if it is I'm pretty sure it's not worth the effort. Like I said, what's important is where it's mounted. The /dev/ part is just the physical location.
