Partition table entries are not in disk order.
At the moment it is telling me my partition table is not in disk order which I want to correct.
I am planning on doing a new installation over my current opensuse system & below is how I am planning on partitioning to partition my system.
I have copied my home directory to my seagate external hard drive which is about 40 gb.
I want to copy this back to my home directory after the new installation, so I don’t want to touch this external at the moment.
My Transcend I want to wipe totally clean & create a linux FS on it.
Should I do this before or after I do my new installation?

I also have two external hard drives which I will also want to mount at times but not have them permanently mounted.
One is a transcend which is 1TB.
I want to install KVM on this hard drive which I will be using for testing & training.
The other one is a seagate 2TG

This I would like to divide into two partitions for archives, one for media & one for data
Both partitions I would like to encrypt & password protect if possible.
Question
1)Wine I need to make 32 bit compatible.
Wine has a tutorial on how to install a 32 bit wine on a 64 bit operating system.
In the Opensuse Reference guide Chapter 6 explains how to run a 32 & 64 bit application in a 64 bit system enviroment. https://activedoc.opensuse.org/book/opensuse-reference/chapter-6-32-bit-and-64-bit-applications-in-a-64-bit-system-environment
Do first have to configure opensuse as per chapter 6 then wine as per the wine manuals for 32 bit application or will the two configurations conflict?
-
I will not be having any partitions over lapping any disks.
Do I still have to create my external drives as logical volumes or can I create my 1TB as ext4 & the two partitions on my seagate as XFS? -
Will the above partitioning be work?
