All that matters in that field is the partition number. sfdisk is often used to copy the partitioning of one drive onto another, and that field will always show the source drive. The drive that get written is the one you specify on the command line. In effect you'll be copying the partitioning of what was my /dev/sde (an external drive of exactly the same size as yours) onto your /dev/sdd. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.

Then, if I want to fix the partition order with fdisk expert f it mess up every thing again! What do I need to run? Within the extended partition, whenever you delete any of the logical partitions the numbering for all of the higher-numbered ones shifts down. If you are using fdisk, you would need to delete partitions 6 through 10, then re-create them, being very careful that partitions 8, 9, and 10 are in exactly the same positions as before. The easiest thing to do is to use sfdisk again, and just change the entries for partitions 6 and 7: ### unit: sectors /dev/sde1 : start= 4096, size= 26613760, Id= 7 /dev/sde2 : start= 26619705, size= 12289725, Id= 7 /dev/sde3 : start= 38909430, size= 10233405, Id= 7 /dev/sde4 : start= 49142835, size=927625230, Id= 5 /dev/sde5 : start= 49142898, size= 49158837, Id=82 /dev/sde6 : start= 98304000, size= 1024000, Id=83, bootable /dev/sde7 : start= 99330048, size= 91136592, Id=83 /dev/sde8 : start=190466703, size= 61448562, Id=83 /dev/sde9 : start=251915328, size= 57351987, Id=83 /dev/sde10: start=309270528, size=152190976, Id=83 ### Because fdisk was forcing 1MB alignment for the new partitions, it left a little extra space between partitions 5 and 6, and again between partitions 6 and 7. If you want to reclaim that space (your other partitions aren't aligned anyway), you could gain a little space for partition 7: ### unit: sectors /dev/sde1 : start= 4096, size= 26613760, Id= 7 /dev/sde2 : start= 26619705, size= 12289725, Id= 7 /dev/sde3 : start= 38909430, size= 10233405, Id= 7 /dev/sde4 : start= 49142835, size=927625230, Id= 5 /dev/sde5 : start= 49142898, size= 49158837, Id=82 /dev/sde6 : start= 98304000, size= 1024000, Id=83, bootable /dev/sde7 : start= 99330048, size= 91136592, Id=83 /dev/sde8 : start=190466703, size= 61448562, Id=83 /dev/sde9 : start=251915328, size= 57351987, Id=83 /dev/sde10: start=309270528, size=152190976, Id=83 ### That leaves one 63-sector "track" between the partitions, which is consistent with the way the other logical partitions are arranged. The amount you gain in partition 7 isn't much, though, just 4187 KB. Your choice. Personally, I keep my partitions aligned at multiples of 8 sectors (4K alignment) just in case I someday transfer the image to a drive with 4KB physical sectors. Since the rest of your partitions aren't aligned that way anyway, there's not much point in doing that for just these two partitions. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
