Partition problem [gdisk]

After succesfully installing archlinux on my laptop and setting it up I decided to install it on my desktop alongside my windows 10. Right now Iam stuck at creating partitions for the installation. I created the swap partition (/dev/sda5) but when I create the linux filesystem partition with my remaining space, with gdisk -l /dev/sda it shows up. I have partitions from 1-6 but when I use lsblk it isnt there. And when I try to format it it says it doesnt exist. Whats the cause?

I think the information are too sparse. Could you provide the output of lsblk and gdisk?

Re: Partition problem [gdisk]

partx can be used to tell the kernel about partition changes. Consult man 8 partx for detailed usage information.

In addition to lsblk, blkid can be used to find detailed partition identifier.
