Special Forums Hardware Boot Loaders GPT/Protective MBR problem... Post 302470318 by fpmurphy on Tuesday 9th of November 2010 06:36:50 PM

Humm, the conversion from GPT to MBR by gdisk is a best-faith attempt only according to the man page. No guarantees, especially if there were no free blocks between the partitions.

You could try the -c option to load the backup partition table but I suspect that it will contain nothing.

NAME
systemd-gpt-auto-generator - Generator for automatically discovering and mounting /home as well as discovering and enabling swap partitions, based on GPT partition type GUIDs. SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-gpt-auto-generator is a generator that automatically discovers /home and swap partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the the partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables (GPT). Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-GPT systems, on systems where the units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the mount point is non-empty. This generator will only look for partitions on the same physical disk the root file system is stored on. This generator has no effect on systems where the root file system is distributed on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID. This generator is useful for centralizing file system configuration in the partition table and making manual configuration in /etc/fstab or suchlike unnecessary. This generator looks for swap partitions using GPT type 0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e50933c84b4f4f. It looks for /home partitions using GPT type 933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b8440e14e2aef915. systemd-gpt-auto-generator implements the generator specification[1]. SEE ALSO
