[Bug 425421] Re: Partition counting should use the same method as device counting

2009-09-07 Thread Pjotr12345
@Colin Watson: indeed users shouldn't *need* to interact with Grub's drive numbers or partition numbers. But when they choose to, they shouldn't be confused by two different counting methods in the same name. Mixing counting methods is a very bad idea. This not only creates unnecessary confusion

I'm sorry, I don't expect that we'll change this. Counting partitions from 0 was a mistake because it was inconsistent with how the operating system typically counts them; I see this as a much more significant inconsistency than that between drives and partitions. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
