After a clean-install of 16.04 alongside W7 my shared partitions did not auto-mount at boot. I opened "disk" in launcher and surprisingly the partitions are not like shown in gparted (and in reality) and as a result I cannot tell the gnome-disk-utility to automount them.

  • gnome-disk-utility 3.18.3.1

  • UDisks 2.1.7 (compilato su 2.1.6)

  • df -h | grep -e '^/':

    /dev/sda7        66G  7,0G     56G  12% /
/dev/sda3       218G  202G     16G  93% /mnt/224C7A834C7A5191
/dev/sda5       269G  249G     20G  93% /media/mat/HDDati

"disk" output

gparted output

Any ideas?

EDIT:

sudo LC_MESSAGES=POSIX fdisk -l /dev/sda

Partition 4 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 5 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition table entries are not in disk order.

I solved the problem in some way some time after posting the question. It works now, but I don't remember how I did it. This partition 4 and 5 boundary problem came out only now, though.

  • Could you please [edit] your question to include the output of `sudo LC_MESSAGES=POSIX fdisk -l /dev/sda`? Thanks. – David Foerster Sep 30 '16 at 15:53
  • I have *exactly* the same issue as the OP! `gnome-disks` is showing the extended partition of all my 2 hard disks and 1 SSD as "Unknown 0.0kb" none of my logical partitions, their space is shown as a single "Free Space". While `fdisk`, `gparted` and the whole OS works on them just fine... – MestreLion May 17 '17 at 05:14

    I suspect you've found a bug, and perhaps should report it, especially if you can reproduce it. If the problem with automounting shows up again, I'd assume you could work around it by manually editing /etc/fstab. – Lew Rockwell Fan May 21 '17 at 18:14
  • Have you tried editting the fstab entry? You probably should, but if you do so, I recommend using caution – jack0da May 21 '17 at 23:23

    I _suspect_ the issue has to do with duplicated partition UUIDs, originated from copying partitions using gParted. Once I re-generated all UUIDs and they were unique again, `gnome-disks` showed all logical partitions. Worth investigating... – MestreLion May 22 '17 at 23:04

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's an abandoned question. OP hasn't signed on in 2017 and cannot respond to new comments. The question has no answers.
