Stephan: I looked at your photos, I can't do math in my head, but ***possibly**** your "L" partition was set up inside one of the other partitions???? In my OSX & linux dual boot set up, I use the OSX disk utility to set aside a certain volume of "free space" . . . formatted as fat32 if possible, and that woulld be at the end of the disk.
Then I usually go with "install along side" "manual" and I use GParted to cut up the free space. But, it is a little "odd" to not see the "L" mentioned somewhere in the GParted, usually those "names" show up somewhere, that's why I'm ***guessing*** it is inside one of the other ones . . . ??? Like if you add up the "used" space it might be able to figure out where it is??
