GPT Not mounting using "normal" GPT mounting techniques 12.04
- by Roy Markham
I've got two 2TB drivess: one MBR and the other GPT.
sudo blckid /dev/sdb1
returns a blank.
gdisk shows:
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by 1970 blocks!
You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility.
Disk /dev/sdb: 3907027055 sectors, 1.8 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 38A1113D-B5E9-4B69-ABFF-ACB27AFB3DDD
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 3907027021
Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 34 262177 128.0 MiB 0C01 Microsoft reserved part
2 264192 3907028991 1.8 TiB 0700 Basic data partition
mounting via fstab or -t gives same error when using NTFS or NTFS-3g
"NTFS signature is missing"
GParted says one partition is overwriting another, yet windows shows no errors at all. The drive is also mounted easily via MacOs (triple boot)
