Running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, plugging i n two external disk drives (both 2.5" SATA disks in enclosures). Gnome disks somehow detects only one, and shows one entry, in the title it combines both /dev/sdd and /dev/sdc together. disks UI

fdisk and gparted detect the disks as two separate disks. Any idea how to get gnome disks to identify the disks as two?

  • Since identical sectors, are they RAID or some sort of Microsoft dynamic partitioning? Do any Linux tools show it as LDM? Shown as SFS in fdisk, Dynamic also on gpt as LDM – oldfred Mar 27 '22 at 17:59
  • @guiverc I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS the fdisk was from a ssh window )headless), not sure if that mattered. – Adarsha Mar 28 '22 at 02:50
  • @oldfred I created the identical size partitions to pair them in raid1. – Adarsha Mar 28 '22 at 02:52
  • "I created the identical size partitions to pair them in raid1"...... what else did you do? – WU-TANG Mar 28 '22 at 03:25

    Please edit your question and add important information like "I created the identical size partitions to pair them in raid1" I'm the question. We are not playing "Guess what have I done?" – user68186 Mar 30 '22 at 22:13
