Bug#891834: gnome-disk-utility: gnome-disks sees empty space instead of an existing extended partition
Control: tags -1 + moreinfo Hello, You seem to have a very tightly packed partition layout. Doing that with a DOS partition table might not give you the best compatibility. Also please note that your sda3 starts on the same block as your sda2 ends.

Please try to provide useful information yourself if you want to have a chance to find anyone interested in helping you debug this issue. Please try to provide a gnome-disks screenshot and a binary partition table (because I have no idea how to parse that /gnu/ fdisk dump). Regards, Andreas Henriksson

Version? Partition table listing? Please ask and I will try to get back with the required info. udisksctl dump Description: /tmp/dump

Please include output from: udisksctl dump Also might be useful to have information for utilities that udisks relies on like gdisk, parted, (util-linux) fdisk, etc. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
Bug#891834: gnome-disk-utility: gnome-disks sees empty space instead of an existing extended partition
Package: gnome-disk-utility Version: 3.26.2-2 Severity: normal This is what fdisk says about one of my disks, which is consistent with what is in /proc/partitions: # fdisk -G -l /dev/sda GNU Fdisk 1.3.0a Disk /dev/sda: 1000 GB, 1000202273280 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 27296 219255088 83 Linux /dev/sda2 27297 75486 3870781425 Extended /dev/sda5 27297 40350 104848222 fd Lnx RAID auto /dev/sda6 40351 4551741495895 fd Lnx RAID auto /dev/sda7 45526 4871325599577 fd Lnx RAID auto /dev/sda8 48714 4998910241437 fd Lnx RAID auto /dev/sda9 49990 75486 204796620 83 Linux /dev/sda3 75486 121602 370426770 83 Linux This is alright and there is no problem. However, gnome-disks sees extended partition 2 as being of zero length, followed by a 396GB unused space. Primary partitions 1 and 3 are seen correctly. Below is the partition table dump. This behaviour is completely reproducible, so please let me know what further details should I send to debug the problem. # fdisk -G -r /dev/sda GNU Fdisk 1.3.0a Device: /dev/sda 0x000: EB 63 90 10 8E D0 BC 00 B0 B8 00 00 8E D8 8E C0 0x010: FB BE 00 7C BF 00 06 B9 00 02 F3 A4 EA 21 06 00 0x020: 00 BE BE 07 38 04 75 0B 83 C6 10 81 FE FE 07 75 0x030: F3 EB 16 B4 02 B0 01 BB 00 7C B2 80 8A 74 03 02 0x040: 81 00 00 20 01 00 00 00 00 02 FA 90 90 F6 C2 80 0x050: 75 02 B2 80 EA 59 7C 00 00 31 00 80 01 00 00 00 0x060: 00 00 00 00 FF FA 90 90 F6 C2 80 74 05 F6 C2 70 0x070: 74 02 B2 80 EA 79 7C 00 00 31 C0 8E D8 8E D0 BC 0x080: 00 20 FB A0 64 7C 3C FF 74 02 88 C2 52 BB 17 04 0x090: F6 07 03 74 06 BE 88 7D E8 17 01 BE 05 7C B4 41 0x0A0: BB AA 55 CD 13 5A 52 72 3D 81 FB 55 AA 75 37 83 0x0B0: E1 01 74 32 31 C0 89 44 04 40 88 44 FF 89 44 02 0x0C0: C7 04 10 00 66 8B 1E 5C 7C 66 89 5C 08 66 8B 1E 0x0D0: 60 7C 66 89 5C 0C C7 44 06 00 70 B4 42 CD 13 72 0x0E0: 05 BB 00 70 EB 76 B4 08 CD 13 73 0D 5A 84 D2 0F 0x0F0: 83 D0 00 BE 93 7D E9 82 00 66 0F B6 C6 88 64 FF 0x100: 40 66 89 44 04 0F B6 D1 C1 E2 02 88 E8 88 F4 40 0x110: 89 44 08 0F B6 C2 C0 E8 02 66 89 04 66 A1 60 7C 0x120: 66 09 C0 75 4E 66 A1 5C 7C 66 31 D2 66 F7 34 88 0x130: D1 31 D2 66 F7 74 04 3B 44 08 7D 37 FE C1 88 C5 0x140: 30 C0 C1 E8 02 08 C1 88 D0 5A 88 C6 BB 00 70 8E 0x150: C3 31 DB B8 01 02 CD 13 72 1E 8C C3 60 1E B9 00 0x160: 01 8E DB 31 F6 BF 00 80 8E C6 FC F3 A5 1F 61 FF 0x170: 26 5A 7C BE 8E 7D EB 03 BE 9D 7D E8 34 00 BE A2 0x180: 7D E8 2E 00 CD 18 EB FE 47 52 55 42 20 00 47 65 0x190: 6F 6D 00 48 61 72 64 20 44 69 73 6B 00 52 65 61 0x1A0: 64 00 20 45 72 72 6F 72 0D 0A 00 BB 01 00 B4 0E 0x1B0: CD 10 AC 3C 00 75 F4 C3 6A F0 05 00 00 00 00 20 0x1C0: 21 00 83 F4 95 9F 00 08 00 00 00 18 23 1A 00 00 0x1D0: 81 A0 05 97 BA DD A0 22 23 1A 60 D5 24 2E 00 FE 0x1E0: FF FF 83 FE FF FF 00 F8 47 48 00 70 28 2C 00 00 0x1F0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 55 AA 0x000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x080: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x090: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0A0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0B0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0C0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0D0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0E0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0F0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x100: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x110: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x120: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x130: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x140: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x150: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x160: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x170: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x180: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x190: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x1A0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x1B0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 0x1C0: 81 A0 FD FE 7F 9D 3F 00 00 00 3F F5 7F 0C 00 FE 0x1D0: FF FF 05 FE FF FF 7E F5 7F 0C B3 95 F2 04 00 00 0x1E0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x1F0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 55 AA 0x000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x020: 00
