Description Dick Gevers 2014-11-28 17:28:16 CET

Description of problem:

Attach a new Seagate 3 Tb usb drive (TYPE: 1D7AD7-500) and with gparted create 2 roughly equal partitions for backing up spouse's windows laptop and my Linux machines.

/etc/fstab entries:

...
# Entry for /dev/sdc1:
UUID=0A575E794C8176D6 /mnt/Ellen-BUP ntfs noauto,umask=022 0 0
#
# Entry for /dev/sdc2:
UUID=6db9c51f-09b4-4d9e-84df-126edbbae5ce /mnt/Dick-BUP ext4 noauto,acl,noatime 1 2

'df' command shows:
...
/dev/sdc1         1,4T   17G  1,4T   2% /mnt/Ellen-BUP
/dev/sdc2         1,4T   70M  1,4T   1% /mnt/Dick-BUP
...

But when done the sizes are reported okay by gparted and windows 7, however diskdrake shows sdc1 as 170 Gb and sdc2 as 178 Gb and remainder empty. As shown by actual usage the diskdrake data cannot be right. Please refer to screenshots I will attach.

Is it still valid in latest cauldron? (probably, but I'd like to be sure before Mageia 5 is released)

Please attach (not paste) the output of "fdisk -l")

As well as the output of:
tune2fs -l /dev/sdc1|egrep 'Block count|Block size'

Comment 14 Thierry Vignaud 2016-12-22 22:07:50 CET

I asked for the output of "fdisk -l", not "fdisk -l /dev/sdb"
Also, you didn't run the tune2fs command on the disk I asked.

So please attach the output of:
- fdisk -l
- tune2fs -l /dev/sdc2|egrep 'Block count|Block size'

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #14)
> I asked for the output of "fdisk -l", not "fdisk -l /dev/sdb"

USB drives change so the commands for sdc are now useless. I gave the results for the same drive which today is sdb,


> Also, you didn't run the tune2fs command on the disk I asked.

As above


> So please attach the output of:
> - fdisk -l
> - tune2fs -l /dev/sdc2|egrep 'Block count|Block size'

The "egrep" does nothing: everything from tune2fs -l for the correct disk is already attached. Sorry but I can't do better

Damn, stupid me. My apologies. Attaching now as instructed.
The relative disk is back being sdc.
