Actually, the first four are primary, and 5 and above are logical. If
you have logical partitions, at least one of the primary is used to
provide them, so there may be a skip e.g. from hda3 to hda5 if you have
3 primary partitions and 1 or more logical partitions. In any case, no
logical partition will be numbered lower than 5. Things may be different
for scsi disks, which you are using here, but I am not aware of that if
they are.
