Partitioning question

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

Please help me to understand what is following partition;

/dev/hda5   228M  4.1M  212M   2% /media/hda5


At time of installation I created;

/boot  255M  (p)
/      8G    (p)
/home  10G   (ext)
swap   1G    (ext)


Now they are shown as;

$ sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/hda8            2221        2342      979933+  82  Linux swap /
Solaris
* end *


$ sudo df -h

/dev/hda7             9.2G  659M  8.1G   8% /home
/dev/hda5             228M  4.1M  212M   2% /media/hda5
* end *


According to order of their creation;

/boot should be /dev/hda1
/  should be /dev/hda2
/home should be /dev/hda5
swap should be /dev/hda6

I intentionally left /dev/hda3 (P) for another OS to be installed later
from the unallocated space.

Why /home is on /dev/hda7 instead not /dev/hda5

Please advise.  TIA
