By contrast, Gparted says: Partition, File System..Mt Pt...Size.......Used.....Unused.....flags /dev/sda1, ext3........./.......22.35......4.48......17.87......boot /dev/sda2, unknown..............22.35............................... /dev/sda3, linux-swap............3.72............................... /dev/sda4, extended............184.45............................... .../dev/sda5...ext3...../home..184.45....127.65......56.81.......... /dev/sda2 has a yellow triangle with exclamation point, and 'Information about /dev/sda2' says: "Unable to detect file system! Possible reasons are: -The file system is damaged -The file system is unknown to GParted -There is no file system available (unformatted)" -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
