Then by all means don't follow my partitioning advice. I won't argue
about who's partition plan is better, I simply saw that you are up to
sda13 and advised you that with all the implied creating and deleting
of partitions (the only other mounted partition was sda12) you might
want to start afresh. Partitions tables are fragile. You are free not
to take my word for it or my advice. I take no offence. I myself once
was once experienced enough to ignore the advice of jaded old timers.
