Copied partition, now sda1 sees himself as sda2
Hi, my HDD has 4 partitions:
sda1 (80GB)
sda2 (15GB)
sda3 - linux swap
sda4
Using Gparted, I removed the contents of sda1 and copied sda2 to sda1, because I was running linux on sda2 and needed more free space.
After that, I updated grub and booted to sda1. But It seems that I cannot mount sda2 from sda1. If I run "df -h", I get:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 59G 13G 43G 24% /
udev 994M 4.0K 994M 1% /dev
tmpfs 401M 892K 400M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 1002M 276K 1002M 1% /run/shm
/dev/sda4 386G 88G 278G 25% /media/311502bd-0a3d-4037-a0ca-2728dae85b2
I think I'm on sda1 because now I have 43GB free space, but it looks like sda1 seems himself as sda2?
How can I mount sda2 from sda1?
Thanks
Re: Copied partition, now sda1 sees himself as sda2
Are you sure sda1 exists now at all? If you copied over it, it might have replaced it with sda2.
I never use Gparted for operations like that. Besides, you did it wrong by trying to copy a partition. That doesn't mean to copy the content, it means to copy the partition, as it says. You copy content the same way as you copy files and folders.
You should have shrinked sda1 and then expand sda2. Not to use any copy option.
See which partitions you have now:
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo parted -l

In addition post this. Often a full partition copy copies UUIDs. Post in code tags to maintain formatting:
sudo blkid -c /dev/null -o list
