Quote from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html Fix design mistakes in GRUB Legacy, which could not be solved for backward-compatibility, such as the way of numbering partitions. In other words, we (as in Debian maintainers and GNU developers/maintainers) won't change this again. I strongly hope and believe Ubuntu won't divert from us in this point. I don't know why Okuji (or the other PUPA developers) decided this but honourly I don't care. Maybe you can find some explanation in the grub-devel archives. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- Partition counting should use the same method as device counting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
