QSI: no partition data found

[thomasl]

Apparently, this bit of the QSI is not as expected:

Code: Select all

Partition:
  Message: No partition data found.

I've seen the same message in other QSIs recently from a variety of different PCs.

There's no problem, malfunction or trouble spot that I am aware of. In fact, I very rarely look into the QSI.

Code: Select all

[dolphin_oracle]

doesn't necessarily surprise me running live.

[thomasl]

Thanks, DO. So if booting live/frugal, contrary to what @m_pav implied here, this is supposedly normal?

If so, perhaps this factlet should be general knowledge.

Apparently, this bit of the QSI is not as expected:

Code: Select all

Partition:
  Message: No partition data found.

Perhaps, explain what you would expected, or with other words, suggest what you want to see in regards to partitions.
B/c there are different views with different expectations, like all partions, only mounted, only those in fstab etc ppp

depends on "usually" meaning:
QSI is using these inxi options:
-Fxxxra
where -F includes -P, which man inxi reports as:

Code: Select all

-P , --partitions

      Show  basic  Partition  information.   Shows, if detected: / 
      /boot /boot/efi /home /opt /tmp /usr /usr/home /var /var/tmp 
      /var/log (for android, shows /cache /data /firmware /system).  If 
      --swap is not used, shows active swap partitions (never shows 
      file or zram type swap). Use -p to see all mounted partitions.

      To show partition labels or UUIDs (when available and relevant), 
      use with -l or -u.

in contrast to full partition list with "-p"

Code: Select all

-p , --partitions-full

      Show full Partition information (-P plus all other detected 
      mounted partitions).

      To show partition labels or UUIDs (when available and relevant), 
      use with -l or -u.

ok in this instance, the stuff qsi usually displays on an installed system

And we should probably keep "-P"/"--partitions" (within "-Z") as default, to avoid
seeing all users or other mounts.
Maybe an option when running QSI "show all partitions" with "--partitions-full" in case users like to see those also included.

I think you are missing what is being thrown

the -P and -p (and the -Z partitions info) do not work on the live system.

Probably mixed -F and -Z:
