[parted-devel] Partition renumbering after a remove

[Joel Granados]

Hello list.

The question is: why does parted call renumber partition funcion every
time it removes/deletes a partition?  This discussion came up in
#anaconda (freenode) and I cannot find a good answer.
I performed some simple tests and everything seems to work fine when we
don't call that function.

Is there any app that expects the partitions to be in order?

The only argument I can come up with to _not_ avoid the renumbering call
is that a partition table where 4 comes before 3 is just stupid.

Comments greatly appreciated.
