Package: gnome-disk-utility Version: 2.30.1-1 Severity: normal I used Disk Utility to remove /dev/sda5 partition, and all partitions with higher numbers have been renamed starting from 5 instead of 6. All these partitions belong to Debian install. Consequently GRUB set the wrong root and /etc/fstab contained wrong partition numbers. Other tools like gparted and fdisk didn't allow me to remove that partition.
this is the new partition table, from fdisk: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 3060 24579040+ a5 FreeBSD Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda3 3061 19457 131708902+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda5 * 3061 5610 20482812 83 Linux /dev/sda6 5611 6247 5116671 83 Linux /dev/sda7 6248 6566 2562336 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda8 6567 15633 72830646 83 Linux i don't have the older, but all partitions >= sda5 were numbered from 6 and there was sda5 after swap. Let me know how I can provide more info. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-disk-utility depends on: ii libatasmart4 0.17+git20100219-1 ATA S.M.A.R.T. reading and parsing ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libavahi-client3 0.6.25-3 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.25-3 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.25-3 Avahi glib integration library ii libavahi-ui0 0.6.25-3 Avahi GTK+ User interface library ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.86-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgdu-gtk0 2.30.1-1 GTK+ standard dialog library for l ii libgdu0 2.30.1-1 GObject based Disk Utility Library ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.30.1-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnautilus-extension 2.30.1-1 libraries for nautilus components ii libnotify1 [libnotify 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libunique-1.0-0 1.1.6-1 Library for writing single instanc ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime gnome-disk-utility recommends no packages. gnome-disk-utility suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
