partitionmanager - rev 1342

Linux-3.8.1
amd-x64


bad detection of partitions

on startup it shows:

Devices:
/dev/sda5  unknown 20.47 GiB
/dev/sdb7  unknown 19.99 GiB

Partitions are listed as:
/dev/sda5p1 type: loop (read only)
/dev/sdb7p1 type: loop (read only)


In fact there are multiple partitions on both sda and sdb

Comment 1 Andreas Sturmlechner 2013-04-29 05:53:47 UTC 
Same here on my X200s. After this happened with partitionmanager-1.0.3 I tried out partitionmanager.git which produced slightly different output (e.g. 'sda3p1' instead of 'sda11') but still basically fails to detect anything fine. The initial thought was incompatibility with GPT system disk, but it also failed to detect the partition table of another regular MBR disk. At the same time, gparted runs perfectly fine.


# gdisk -l /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.6

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sda: 1000215216 sectors, 476.9 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 4E089492-B1EB-475F-AA62-FEA462B17344
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1000215182
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 3038 sectors (1.5 MiB)
