[opensuse] Problems loading opensuse on 4TB USB drive on 42.3
I purchased a 4TB Seagate Backup Plus hard drive. I have experienced problems with reliable booting on other of my USB drives, so attempted to palace an opensuse system on the new 4TB drive as an experiment. I used a 42.3 cdrom installation media. It created partition 1 without my input, BIOS boot. I realize that the MBR boot cannot exceed 2TB, so was not surprised at this. I usually have swap in partition 1, so for this drive I place swap at the end of the dis after the XFS /home partition. After the installation I booted and received: error: unknown filesystem entering rescue mpode Grub rescue I examined the partitions from my running system: Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 16382 14335 7M BIOS boot /dev/sda2 16384 104871934 104855551 50G Microsoft basic data /dev/sda3 104871936 7792859134 7687987199 3.6T Microsoft basic data /dev/sda4 7792897920 7814000189 21102270 10.1G Microsoft basic data Why do you think this USB file system is loaded as sda. My other USB drives come up sdc, after my two installed hard drives sda and sdb. Is there something I need to write into the BIOS boot partition, and why didn't the 42.3 system installer do it? Any assistance would be appreciated. I hope these questions are not too simple. Sometimes I miss a switch in the GUI, or something equally as trivial.

Sorry, forgot to mention why the partitions are Microsoft basic data, instead of linux, linux and linux swap. I created these using the system installer DVD. Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

gpt is not a partition but a standard for partitioning disks. you must format the partition to the type you desire. if you open fdisk to a particular disk and list known partition types, you will see: 10 Microsoft reserved 11 Microsoft basic data and you will not see ntfs -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I usually use fdisk and mkfs to set up disks, maybe it's a bug that gparted uses a microsoft partition type, I must experiment some time when I get a new disk. Quoted from wikepedia: All modern PC operating systems support GPT. Some, including macOS and Microsoft Windows on x86, support booting from GPT partitions only on systems with EFI firmware, but FreeBSD and most Linux distributions can boot from GPT partitions on systems with both legacy BIOS firmware interface and EFI.

Yes. I boot this "legacy" computer from a 2TB disk partitioned as GPT. Works nicely. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Sorry, forgot to mention why the partitions are Microsoft basic data, instead of linux, linux and linux swap. I created these using the system installer DVD.
One would expect that the Linux installer would tag the partitions as being of type Linux. But honestly, whenever I have to install on a new drive I first use fdisk (or equivalent), possibly after booting with a LiveCD (for some reason the one that seems to work in all circumstances is Knoppix) and set up the partition structure, tag them appropriately for Linux use AND LABEL THE PARTITIONS THAT I WANT TO USE FOR SWAP, ROOT, TMP AND HOME using the fdisk tool *before* starting the installation. Now why would I always do something ridiculous like that? Dunno, but doing it avoids ending up with the installer creating partition s tagged for Microsoft data. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

This can not be the entire output of the command, because I do not see sdb nor sdc. Ah. You were asked for the output of "fdisk -l" not "fdisk -l /dev/sda". Please repost as asked.
I notice that this disk says it is type: gpt, where my other disks say they are of type dos. Please advise.
It is correct, you need GPT for a disk that size. Reading RESULTS.txt file and commenting. => Syslinux GPTMBR (4.04-5.01) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda. => Syslinux MBR (5.00 and higher) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb. => Syslinux MBR (5.00 and higher) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc. sda2 is marked bootable, and contains grub2, and also Leap 42.3. Also sdb2 and sdc are marked bootable. sdb2 contains grub2 and Leap 42.3 sdc2 contains grub2 and yet another Leap 42.3. grub2 at sda2 tries load root from 2dfbf5e1-e13c-4cd7-9f00-b5b9602d7250, which is correct. Also, sdb2 and sdc2 seem correct. All seems correct. I don't see what is wrong - unless the bios tries to boot another disk that I do not see in the file. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Seems correct. There are no hidden disks. Your symptoms are as if the BIOS is booting from another disk. Maybe Andrei can see something else, he is the expert. Curious: your sectors are of 512 bytes on the big disk. Those typically are 4K now.
What happened to gparted? when I search for it it only comes up under 42.2.
No, it is also on 42.3, I installed it. https://software.opensuse.org/package/gparted
Also I am curious why fdisk shows file types as Microsoft basic data.
I don't remember, but it is of no consequence. It is not the actual filesystem type, but the type that the partitioner was told when the partition was created.
Are you aware of anybody that has built a bootable system on a 4TB drive? I have performed installation from the 42.3 distribution twice with repeatable results.
Mine uses a 2 TB disk, GPT, BIOS system. It is similar to yours but internal and smaller. And I have a separate /boot partition. I have a 3 TB data disk. Possibly the BIOS can not access the entire 4TB disk, but the system is at the start, 50 GB, so I would not expect a problem.

My mistake in appreciation, it is 4 KiB physical size. With a large disk, 4 TB, the number of 512 byte sector is huge. With 4K sectors, it is 8 times smaller. Current disks have typically 4 KiB sectors. Sometimes, 4 KiB real, 512 emulated.

My question was directed to Carlos' question. I'm still interested in seeing your problem solved, but as yet recognize nothing to explain it. I've been multibooting >25 years, but have no disks >2TB, so can't very well try emulating your situation. Why bootinfoscript has reported that your MBRs contain syslinux I don't understand. If your motherboard firmware is configured to boot in legacy mode I would have expected it to contain legacy compatible code or grub code. Is 42.3 your first installation using the 4TB disk as a primary (sda) disk, and/or first trying to use a USB HD to boot from? I think the thread has been made overly complex if what you're really after is booting 42.3 from your internal 1TB HD reliably. I recommend powering the USB disk down and keeping it that way until internal HD booting works as it should. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Syslinux GPTMBR is what is needed to boot with a BIOS machine a big GPT disk, on a legacy machine (BIOS). This is mine (working): ============================= Boot Info Summary: =============================== => Syslinux GPTMBR (4.04-5.01) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda. => libparted MBR boot code is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb. It is an MBR code that is designed to be written to the protective MBR of a GPT partitioned disk, and as the original one it searches for the boot mark - look at mine: Drive: sda _____________________________________________________________________ Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Partition Boot Start Sector End Sector # of Sectors Id System /dev/sda1 1 3,907,029,167 3,907,029,167 ee GPT GUID Partition Table detected.

Seems correct. There are no hidden disks. Your symptoms are as if the BIOS is booting from another disk.
Maybe Andrei can see something else, he is the expert.
Curious: your sectors are of 512 bytes on the big disk. Those typically are 4K now.
What happened to gparted? when I search for it it only comes up under 42.2.
No, it is also on 42.3, I installed it.
https://software.opensuse.org/package/gparted
Also I am curious why fdisk shows file types as Microsoft basic data.
I don't remember, but it is of no consequence. It is not the actual filesystem type, but the type that the partitioner was told when the partition was created.
Are you aware of anybody that has built a bootable system on a 4TB drive? I have performed installation from the 42.3 distribution twice with repeatable results.
Mine uses a 2 TB disk, GPT, BIOS system. It is similar to yours but internal and smaller. And I have a separate /boot partition. I have a 3 TB data disk.
Possibly the BIOS can not access the entire 4TB disk, but the system is at the start, 50 GB, so I would not expect a problem.

Look carefully. https://software.opensuse.org/package/gparted First you see a "direct install" box. Don't click on it. Click on "Show other versions instead". That will list all distributions for which there is a gparted package. Click on the "openSUSE Leap 42.3" and it will give you the links. Notice the words "official release", means you do not have to add any extra repo, it is already in the official repos. Now look near the search box; Do you see a wrench?

I purchased a 4TB Seagate Backup Plus hard drive. I have experienced problems with reliable booting on other of my USB drives, so attempted to palace an opensuse system on the new 4TB drive as an experiment. I used a 42.3 cdrom installation media. It created partition 1 without my input, BIOS boot. I realize that the MBR boot cannot exceed 2TB, so was not surprised at this. I usually have swap in partition 1, so for this drive I place swap at the end of the dis after the XFS /home partition.
After the installation I booted and received: error: unknown filesystem entering rescue mpode Grub rescue
This means grub was not able to read /boot filesystem (or even identify it).
I examined the partitions from my running system:
Please show full fdisk -l output.

Why do you think this USB file system is loaded as sda. My other USB drives come up sdc, after my two installed hard drives sda and sdb. Is there something I need to write into the BIOS boot partition, and why didn't the 42.3 system installer do it? Any assistance would be appreciated.
I hope these questions are not too simple. Sometimes I miss a switch in the GUI, or something equally as trivial.
Thanks, Don

USB drives can come up in the order they are plugged in, or in the order that USB headers are probed. This is why I always use uuids and put a line if fstab for drives I need to show up in specific orders, such as my backup devices. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I prevent USB storage from showing up ahead of ATA by disabling USB boot in motherboard firmware, but of course that's unhelpful when boot from USB is needed, in which case USB as sda is nice, keeping / filesystem on sda. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
