System-monitor NO /home partition

Support KDE Plasma
1

Hi, instead of upgrading Manjaro (with KDE), I have made new installation.

I would like to make system monitor widget to see spaces on my disk partition. From some reason there is missing choice of /sdb4 partition, which is mounted as /home.

There is output from “lsblk”

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS

├─sdb4   8:20   0    55G  0 part /home
└─sdb5   8:21   0   5,5G  0 part /media/WindowsPE

There is available choices.

I don’t know how to solve this. Any help or idea please? :slight_smile:

Hi @cziss,

Is it not under the Data category?

Edit:

Hmm…there doesn’t seem to even be an sda4…Please provide the output for:

fdisk -l

Edit #2:

Are you using btrfs? Because if so, that would possibly explain it and I can’t help further.

Hi, Data category is /sda disc. /sda and /sdb3+4 are EXT4. Problem is with /sdb4

Well, I don’t know why or what’s happening, or what you possibly did here, but sda only has 1 (albeit large) partition on it…

Since it seems your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Yes, but I have problem with /sdb4. /sda has only one partition and it can be mointored

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

I can’t make sense of this.

/dev/sdb4 is mounted as /home

but it is probably formatted as NTFS, because it is

which translates to:
Windows recovery environment

Can /home be on NTFS?
I don’t think so.

lsblk -f
would give more detail

My most humble apologies.

I don’t know why, but every time I went and re-read your post, I kept reading sda instead of sdb. I think I finally have it.

But:

As, according to this:

To put it simple, a recovery partition is a portion of your disk drive that is set aside by the manufacturer to hold an image of your system before it was shipped from the factory. Recovery partition contains the files of system backup image and files that guide system restoration.

I am unsure if you should be able to see/monitor it…

Yes, it’s pretty strange, because

/dev/sdb4 is mounted as /home and its ext4
/deb/sdb2 is swap

I’m using this PC over 5 years with linux. That’s new installation, due to update problems. It’s not possible, that this partitions may have some residues of Windows recovery environment.

Nevermind. I've got nothing.

Please provide the output for:

I have got nothing either - sorry!

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb

returns something completely different from

lsblk -f

I have no idea how this can happen or how to approach this. :man_shrugging:

Now that you mention it…

It looks like 2 different computers. Just double-check that, @cziss.

14

No :D, is really the same PC.

Then I’ve got absolutely less than nothing…

Hi, I’ve found solution. I’ve used WinPE enviroment and Disk Genius tool to repair nonsenses in disk types. After that space monitoring is available.

sudo LC_ALL=C  fdisk -l                                                                                                                                      ✔  4s 
