[Bug 522408] Re: palimpsest does not recognize well my extended partition

[Phillip Susi]

Is this still happening?  If so could you please run sudo dd
if=/dev/sda5 count=1 | xxd?

Title:
  palimpsest does not recognize well my extended partition

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udisks 1.0.0~git20100212.aae17d9-0ubuntu1

  I have captured a screenshot of palimpsest and gparted.
  Palimpsest currently does not detect well my extended partition.

  It shows /dev/sda4 "Extended 5.2GB (W95 Ext'd LBA) (0x0f)" and next to it 2 partitions, both of 5.2GB:
  - /dev/sda5 of type "extended"
  - /dev/sda (with no number) of free space

  the correct partitions are (from fdisk and gparted)
  /dev/sda4 extended (W95 Ext'd LBA)
  /dev/sda5 ext3 (logical partition inside /dev/sda4)

  So /dev/sda5 is not recognized as a logical partition insider the
  extended container (/dev/sda4). Also the free space is not available,
  it must be a result of not having recognized the logical partition.
