Hi,
Sorry if this was asked before...
I have a 16 gb Nokia N9 and it has a partition table like this:
My quesstion is:
If I want to install Maemo Leste and I shrink partition 1, can I modify the 4th partition for the new leste partition?
I did the following commands:
/sbin/sfdisk --no-reread -uS /dev/mmcblk0 -N1
1024 7341056 c
and then
/sbin/sfdisk --no-reread -uS /dev/mmcblk0 -N4
7342080 11122688 83
and the result was this:
I know that the partitions are not in order but that should not be a problem, right? Do you guys think that this is a good, working setup?
Thanks a lot

In the end, I went along with this. So far so good.
Ubiboot, Maemo Leste installed. :-)
I was asking this because I have already done this before but after a while, my phone suddenly, did not want to start. I had to reflash it with the "erase-user-data" option to get it working again.
I think now that it was not because of the partitioning, but something else. Time will tell! :-)

Today I managed to repartition N9 
My partition table looks like that:
p1 - MyDocs, 4,9 GB
p4 - extented, 3,9 GB
p5 - Nemo, 1,46 GB
p6 - Sailfish, 1,46 GB
p7 - Leste/Devuan (for testing), 1 GB
p2 - Harmattan, 4 GB
p3 - /home, 2 GB
I used Ubiboot maintance mode, and repartitioned with GParted (resizing), parted (restoring rootfs) and Harmattan's mkfs.ext4 (formatting)
