Thanks, but it seems that cfdisk doesn't understand this partition
structure properly either:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdd1 * 0 3793663 3793664 1.8G 0 Empty
/dev/sdd2 2136 2967 832 416K ef EFI
(FAT-12/16/32)
>> Free space 4096 246480895 246476800 117.5G
If /dev/sdd1 is 3793664 sectors then there is no way that free space starts
at sector 4096. And if I try to create new partition there, cfdisk doesn't
allow that and gives error "Start sector 4096 out of range."
