Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you don't reply within two weeks from now, I will have to close this bug as OLD. Thank you.

Outout of fdisk -l

This may no longer be valid as I've removed the two legacy HDDs that I moved from my old system.
Comment 6 Barry Jackson 2016-10-02 13:23:39 CEST 
OK, so we now don't know which drive was involved as assignments will have changed when the drives were removed.
I will close this as invalid as we can't really investigate further.

If you do replicate this in future please feel free to reopen this bug report.
