Here's what you have shuffled into logical disk order:
Code:
/dev/sda1 2048 534527 532480 260M EFI System
/dev/sda2 534528 567295 32768 16M Microsoft reserved
/dev/sda3 567296 3521697791 3521130496 1.7T Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda8 3521697792 3523794943 2097152 1G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda9 3523794944 3675297791 151502848 72.2G Linux LVM
/dev/sda6 3675297792 3880099839 204802048 97.7G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda4 3880099840 3882106879 2007040 980M Windows recovery environment
/dev/sda5 3882106880 3907016703 24909824 11.9G Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda7 3907016704 3907028991 12288 6M Linux swap
Based on the logical order and partition types on disk, what I think happened is:
1-Windows was using the whole 2TB disk, divided into contiguous sda1-sda5.
2-Mint shrunk sda6 in order to create sda7 for swap and shrunk sda3 to make room for sda6 for the rest of Mint.
3-Fedora shunk sda3 more, to make room for sda8 as a Linux /boot partition and sda9 for the rest of Fedora, using LVM, and keeping the swap sda7.
In order to be sure, you could boot any rescue media, mount sda8, and inspect it to determine if indeed the kernel and initrd files there, which would be in its / directory, belong to Fedora. Then mount sda6, and inspect to determine if indeed the files there belong to Mint, kernel and initrd in its /boot directory and /etc/fstab showing what it mounts where. If I'm right, you could do a boot repair of Fedora, then running Fedora, the adjacent physical location of sda6 and sda9 would facilitate the use of Fedora's LVM manager to delete sda6 and reallocate the vacated space to enlarge Fedora's LVM on sda9 into one bigger LVM partition, just as if sda6 and Mint had never been installed.
