Gparted recognizing gpt partition as one big UFS partition

nomorewindows · 2017-07-26 15:23:34

Fdisk clearly states that it is gpt partition table, but gparted treats it as one big UFS partition. Can't resize any partitions because it has no support for UFS filesystems. My partition table doesn't look like that. I have several partitions.

fdisk -l
parted -l
lsblk -f

lsblk -f is reporting my disk as ufs because I have a couple of ufs partitions, but usually gparted is able to separate those from the rest of the partitions.
It is calling /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 the same UUID and ufs type. Shouldn't be calling sda anything, any ideas?

So you're not going to post any of the requested info?

Personally, I would prefer gdisk -l vs fdisk -l. Gives more info about gpt disks.

How did it do that to my sda, all the other machines leave sda blank?

Please get the other outputs (fdsik, gdisk - whichever at hand, but gdisk indeed provides more info)

Looks like something went wrong last time you wrote the partition table, the sda seems conflated with sda1.
Since there're two UFS partitions, do you have a multiboot with BSD or OSX? (I mean, why are there UFS partitions itfp?)
Did you alter the partition table there?

It's FreeBSD multiboot.
Oh wait, gdisk -l gives an error -2, no wonder I didn't post it. There wasn't anything to post.

Problem opening -l for reading! Error is 2.

Ok, leaving aside the 64kB partition, gdisk has no major problem with the disk layout (and there's a valid GPT)
Did you check the output of "sudo parted -l" (since this might ultimately be a bug in the frontend)

64kb is the FreeBSD bootloader partition but I still have a bin file to load the mbr for FreeBSD into syslinux.

nomorewindows · 2017-07-30 04:33:24

parted -l doesn't seem to recognize ufs filesystems, only the one that are used by linux. It still shows the partitions...

seth · 2017-07-30 06:25:10

Seems very much like a pure frontend issue then. Parted does not decode the UFS partition IDs and produces output that's "unexpected" by the frontend.
So you
1. can file a bug against gparted (please provide them the actual parted outputs of probably "parted -lm"
2. "man parted" to edit the partition (it has an online help as well)

nomorewindows · 2017-07-30 13:29:05

I was thinking I might have to zap the gpt and start over possibly don't know if this will correct the sda being a ufs filesystem though.

seth · 2017-07-30 14:05:26

Rewriting the partition table (w/o actually changing it) should achieve that - if at all.
However, if your problem is that gparted does not work, but parted does, that's simply a bug in gparted, which is just a GUI frontend for parted. So your options are to call to fix it - or drop it.

Now gparted won't even start...

Maybe you should renegerate locale files.

First show output of command:

grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen

cat /etc/locale.conf

locale.gen (empty)

Fixxer · 2017-08-28 19:34:47

So uncomment your locale in /etc/locale.gen and run as ROOT locale-gen command. After reboot all should be fine.

Then post output of commands posted by seth:

Did locale-gen and didn't even need reboot, gparted works again.
