Bug ID: 507360
Summary: Partition type is not copied when copy paste partition
Classification: Applications
Product: partitionmanager
Version First 25.04.3
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: ash...@linuxcomp.ru
Target Milestone: ---
I was transferring data from one ssd to another. I inserted both SSDs to the
PC, and copy-pasted partitions one by one from first ssd to second ssd.
In Windows `diskpart` utility, the NTFS partitions were not recognized. I.e.
the partitions were presented in `diskpart list part`, but not in `diskpart
list vol`.
I then realized that KDE Partition Manager did not copied the partition type. I
did it manually via terminal utility cgdisk/gdisk (because of Bug 394639 -
unable to view/change partition type guid), and diskpart started recognising
ntfs partition normally (recognized as volumes).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have one partition with ntfs file system, marked as 0700 type.
2. Have a space on some drive where you could paste the partition.
3. Right click partitition, then click copy.
4. Right click empty space, then click paste.
5. Apply operations.
6. Wait until copying finishes.
7. Check partition type with gdisk (type t, then type partition number, then
see its type hex code) or cgdisk (select partition, select Type, see its hex
code).
OBSERVED RESULT
The new partition has code 8300 - Linux filesystem.
EXPECTED RESULT
The new partition should have the original partition type hex code, i.e. 0700.
