fdisk problem - can not recreate partition table - decrease crypt












0














I am trying to shrink my crypted lvm system, shrinking lv and pv size was no problem, i followed this awesome post here:



https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=726724



But in the end the partition sizes in the table should be changed, so i deleted the partitions and created new ones with fdisk, but the problem is, i can not create a logical partition with the same start sector as before.



As you can see below i cannot set the start point of the logical partition where it started first.



Any Idea what to do?



This is the partition table before



and after
