Morning all, My ~amd64 system uses partitions 1 to 18 on /dev/nvme0n1, and it has two SATA disks as well, for various purposes. Today, after I'd taken the system down for its weekly backup (I tar all the partitions to a USB disk) and started up again, invoking gparted to look around, libparted spat out a list of partitions from 19 to 128 which, it said, "have been written but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change..."
I remerged gparted, parted, libparted and udisks, then booted another system and ran fsck -f on all the partitions from 4 to 18 - those that this system uses - and rebooted. No change - the same complaint from libparted. I get a similar complaint about /dev/sda. Those errors are repeated once. Is this a terminal condition? I could repartition and restore from backup, but I hope someone can offer a clue before I resort to that. -- Regards, Peter.
