Hello People,
Following is my concern,
- -------------------
laptop:~# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order
laptop:~#
- --------------------
Is this something to worry about? I just modified my partition table using
parted to make a new swap partition. Previously / was /dev/hda8 and now
it's /dev/hda7. Everything is working fine for me.
Just the message, "Partition table entries are not in disk order".
Is it something to worry about? Will it slowly damage my disk?
TIA,
rrs
