https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D281686 alixey <alixey59@gmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |alixey59@gmail.com --- Comment #19 from alixey <alixey59@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Gleb Popov from comment #3) "I see strange device names like "ada0s2+00000001". I never seen these befo= re. How to produce them?" These are logical partitions on an MBR (Master Boot Record) disk made with Extended Boot Record (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record). In two words: it allow= s to create unlimited amount of logical partitions on a disk with MBR, without it MBR only allows 4 partitions (primary partitions). My old external HDD is also partitioned like that. MBR, one primary partiti= on, and an extended partition that holds 2 logical partitions. And here's what happens in FreeBSD+XFCE4 on system boot up with HDD plugged= in to USB port: thunar's side panel shows the primary partition but doesn't sh= ow the logical ones. If I plug the HDD out and then plug in again: now thunar shows logical partitions too, but they don't have the "Eject" icon which all removable me= dia should have in thunar. The primary partition has the icon, the logical ones don't. Also, unlike the primary that has the icon and is called "Volume 96 GB", the logical partitions are called just "Volume", so 2 of them - "Volume" and "Volume". They seem to work fine though, they are mounted on click. This disk is properly recognized by thunar on my Devuan+XFCE4 system, all partitions, with icons, and are named as either their labels or as "Volume x GB". So: 1. EBR based logical partitions on an MBR disk are not properly recognized = on system boot on FreeBSD. 2. They are partially recognized after reconnection on the already running system. 3. They seem to not send info about their size to thunar, and thunar don't = know that they are removable media (no "Eject" icon), probably the same with lab= els. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
