QSI: no partition data found

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

doesn't necessarily surprise me running live.

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.

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.

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 :happy:

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

In case you want to add the --partion-full inxi option -p like this into QSI:
inxi -Fxxxra -p $filters -c$inxi_color
we might also add to the sed-filtter,
something like this sed-filter:

Code: Select all

           s:/media/$(logname)/:/media/<filter>/:g;
           s:/home/[^/]+/:/home/<filter>/:g;
so the sed looks like this:

Code: Select all

sed -r -e "/Kernel:/s/$UNAMER/$UNAMER${UNAMEV:+ \[$UNAMEV\]}/;
           /mapped:/s/luks-${uuid_filter}/luks-<filter>/;
           s:/media/$(logname)/:/media/<filter>/:g;
           s:/home/[^/]+/:/home/<filter>/:g;
           "
which would than filter out the usernames from /media
and potentially other mounts to current user or other users home

Code: Select all

Partition:
  ID-1: /boot/efi raw-size: 256 MiB size: 252 MiB (98.46%) used: 274 KiB (0.1%) fs: vfat
    dev: /dev/vdd2 maj-min: 253:50
  ID-2: /media/<filter>/BOOT_VDD3 raw-size: 1024 MiB size: 973.4 MiB (95.06%) used: 232.2 MiB (23.8%)

Folks, please don't get your knickers in a twist. I have zero problems with the way QSI works ATM and if I have a sudden urge to study partition data, I know where I can find them.

I started this whole hullabaloo simply because @m_pav wrote in another thread:
m_pav wrote: Sat Jul 13, 2024 4:54 pmA fully encrypted drive needs to have an unencrypted boot partition to read the bootloader out from. Your QSI shows, no partitions data found which might point to the source of the problem.
... which I took to mean that no partition data found is not to be expected. As @dolphin_oracle has made clear, for a live system this seems to be normal.
