Severity: critical

I'm running libparted 1.6.11-8, BTW.

When I run `fdisk -l`, I get this:

Partition table entries are not in disk order
- ----

When I run qtparted, it shows /dev/hda9 as being a 20 GB ext3 partition,
which is actually /dev/hda11.  It also gets the other partition numbers
wrong.  I discovered this when I tried to mount /dev/hda5, an NTFS
partition, but since the number was mixed up, it mounted /dev/hda10 instead.

This is a serious bug.  I started qtparted to clear out another
partition to use for something else.  If I hadn't noticed that the
numbers were wrong, I could have wiped out the wrong partition!  Forgive
me, but I'm not about to try it and see which partition qtparted
*actually* wipes out.
