| Apr 1, 2019 at 6:54 | comment | added | Andreas | pertaining to:"restore the original partition numbering", so partition 7 is changed to partition 5.... Is this because parted doesn't delete the data, but only creates 'meta' data about partitions? So while I delete "partition 7", I don't delete the actual data that I just copied (with dd) to the blocks in the range 300MiB 1199MiB? Then it makes sense. Is that correct? | |
| Apr 1, 2019 at 6:49 | comment | added | frostschutz | The other values is just a difference of MB (1000*1000 byte) vs. MiB (1024*1024 byte). Feel free to adapt the sizes to your liking but stick to MiB unit. | |
| Apr 1, 2019 at 6:48 | comment | added | frostschutz | "restore the original partition numbering", so partition 7 is changed to partition 5. Otherwise with changed numbers you might have to adapt some configs. Parted does not allow to change numbering directly so delete and re-create it is. You have to take care to use the same start sector on re-create. | |
| Apr 1, 2019 at 6:41 | comment | added | Andreas | Thanks a lot.Very clear help. The way I read it, though,we create a new partion 7, copys old data to partiotion 7. Then deletes partion 7, and create a new partion (which is now partion 5)... I dont understand that step. Se my latest edit. | |
