Hi there I just created the following partitions. Is I get one warning but look at the starts and ends. The following partition begins exactly where the preceding one ends, as if they are overlapping. I used gparted 0.12.0-5. Is that normal? Can writing to one partition overwrite data in the other where they overlap according to the fdisk printout below?
