I have a drive partitioned like this
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 30401 244196001 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 * 1 2611 20972794+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 2612 5222 20972826 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 5223 7180 15727603+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 7181 9138 15727603+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 9139 11096 15727603+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda10 11097 13054 15727603+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda11 13055 16971 31463271 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda12 16972 22192 41937651 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda13 22193 26108 31455238+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda14 26109 30401 34483491 8e Linux LVM
I was quite ambitious at the time about how many distros I would load. I now
want to basically kill partitions sda6 to sda11 and repartition that space
differently. Instead of the 6 partitions I will have fewer.
My concern is that this will change the partition numbers of the partitions
currently 12, 13 and 14. As can be seen these currently form part of LVM
partitions. If the partition numbers change eg sda12 to sda10, my concern is
whether LVM will adjust accordingly? Or is there a command I will have to
run once I have re-partitioned? The LVM partitions are all reiserfs.
