I have a m.2 physical drive that contains more then 30 volumes (Vbox clients) that work correctly as far as Virtualbox is concerned, but when I try and display the m.2 drive with gnome-disk i can not see the last volumes, even if I expand the display to full screen. There does not seem to be a way to “shift right” to display the right most volumes. I’ve even tried different display sizes, the norm size for my display is 1920x1080.
Did you already try gparted ?
For what ? I like disks because it lets me mount a vol or add/del from fstab, plus other things. Disks is a nice window to storage vol management. I like gparted for resizing.
Have you tried the good old trick with resizing the window more than display width? Unmaximize, drag right border, drag title left, resize, move, repeat.
I’d guess that the likelihood of having so many partitions defined on one disk wasn’t taken into consideration throughout the inventing and design of gnome-disk-utility; even given that (using GPT) a disk may have up to 128 (if memory serves) partitions.
In contrast, it does shrink well for smaller screens.
A conditional grid layout, or at least, a scrollable overflow on the x axis would no doubt be a better design choice.
In any case, Disks is a standalone package and is not maintained by Manjaro, so I imagine any queries would best be directed upstream:
Cheers.

Your right, this is probably the wrong site to expect gnome-disk developers to monitor. I’ll move on.
I just tried scaling to 1.5x and now I can see all vols. Thanks and will close.
