You'll have to ask Mario :-) In my case, the partition table looked something like this:
sda1 Primary / 15.1GB sda2 Extended 716MB sda5 Logical swap 716MB What seems to be happenign is that blkid is reading trying to get some sort of info from the extended partition, and AFAIK, extended partitions are just META partitions, and don't really posess things like UUID (I could be wrong, but that's my understanding at this point). So yes, /dev/sda2 does exist, BUT it's simply an Extended partition, which really is just a metapartition containing X local partitions within. Personally, I really do NOT like the use of extended partitions in default partitioning schemes. There's really no reason at all for the defaut partition scheme to look like this. I could see it for a custom scheme that involved more than 4 partitions, but for this, no. IMO, the default partitioning should just be two primary partitions. I have a feeling that this issue will not be seen in custom schemes or in schemes that use an existing partition (the "Install alongside" option. I haven't tried either of those though to find out. -- os-prober hangs on /usr/lib/os-probes/50mounted-tests on /dev/sda2 and sda2 not present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
