Unfortunately I changed the partitions because I needed to see what
happens if I merge them. The 1 (combined) partition now is again not
recognised correctly and had to create a fdi file with a check for
'partitiontable' filesystem in order to be able to mount it. Ugly hack
but workd.
If it of any help the 1 partitions was about 100GB and the second 20GB
(not 120).
But the even most unfortunate thing is that from Tuesday I will must
attend the army for 1 year and so I won't be able to help you. If I
can help you with any info until then about the 1 partition please
tell me how.
Thanks
