Can confirm this for qtparted 0.4.4.

Having moved from Knoppix to Kubuntu, I kept my old Knoppix
/home. Output of sfdisk:

user@laptop :~$ sudo sfdisk -l
Password:

Disk /dev/hda: 58140 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder
boundary.
DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently.
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 58140/16/63).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes,
counting from 0

Note: hda5 is my old Knoppix /home and is actually at the
end of the hard disk.

However, qtparted gives the following names (apparently
based on physical location on the hard disk):

hda1: boot
hda5: swap (which is actually hda6)
hda6: / (which is actually hda7)
hda7: /home (which is actually hda8)
hda8: old Knoppix /home (which is actually hda5)

I will try and attach a screenshot.

Hope that helps.
