I am currently using Slacko6.9.9.9 but GParted will not show the contents of my Hard Drive - see attached Screenshot.
The older versions of Slacko (eg. Slacko6.3.2 and Slacko5.7.0) and Precise (Precise5.7.1 and Precise5.4.3) that I also have on the same computer do not have this problem.
Here's the contents of fdisk -l and df -h :

Is there any adjustment that I can make to Slacko6.9.9.9 in order to rectify this issue?
Thanks,
Dave

Not a slackware issue, its a df issue. The df command AFAICS does not display information on non-mounted filesystems.aaaaa 15 July 2018, 21:19 wrote: df -h doesn't show this:

I wonder why.
Might be a slackware issue
My best but speculative guess is that gparted does not recognise the Dell diagnostics partition and/or the Exfat partitions and gives up? However, it appears the kernel sees the partitions including the vfat partitions. This could be tested by this on a terminal:
Code: Select all
mkdir /tmp/SDA5
mount -t vfat /dev/sda5 /tmp/SDA5 -o ro
df-FULL -h
umount /tmp/SDA5
