Partitioning question

[Ouattara Oumar Aziz]

Hi,

Let's take a look at that :

 > /dev/hda1               1        2342    18812083+   5  Extended
 > /dev/hda5   *           1          31      248944+  83  Linux
 > /dev/hda6              32        1004     7815591   83  Linux
 > /dev/hda7            1005        2220     9767488+  83  Linux
 > /dev/hda8            2221        2342      979933+  82  Linux swap /

/dev/hda1 is Extented : This is not a "real" partition. It's a way to 
permit more than 3 partitions on a disk. The blocks of this partition go 
from 1 to 2342. and you can verify that all the others partitions are 
included in the interval.

So /dev/hda5 is your real first partition ( /boot), /dev/hda6 is the 
second ( / ) , hda7 is your /home .

Good luck !
