When showing the properties of an exfat file system, this pops up quote Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. The cause might be a missing software package. The following list of software packages is required for exfat file system support: exfatprogs. end quote I traced this down to this change in the dump.exfat program + git log 41863cb0~..41863cb0 commit 41863cb0f5b9fee0856ba4f948bc40dc4527b965 Author: Zach Davis <zdavkeos> Date: Sat Dec 9 16:49:05 2023 -0600 dump: Sector and Cluster units Report sector sizes in bytes and clusters in terms of sectors Signed-off-by: Zach Davis <zdavkeos> Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon> + git diff 41863cb0~..41863cb0 diff --git a/dump/dump.c b/dump/dump.c index 8c96376..73a231a 100644 --- a/dump/dump.c +++ b/dump/dump.c @@ -131,8 +131,8 @@ static int exfat_show_ondisk_all_info(struct exfat_blk_dev *bd) exfat_info("Cluster Count: \t\t\t\t%u\n", total_clus); exfat_info("Root Cluster (cluster offset): \t\t%u\n", root_clu); exfat_info("Volume Serial: \t\t\t\t0x%x\n", le32_to_cpu(pbsx->vol_serial)); - exfat_info("Sector Size Bits: \t\t\t%u\n", pbsx->sect_size_bits); - exfat_info("Sector per Cluster bits: \t\t%u\n\n", pbsx->sect_per_clus_bits); + exfat_info("Bytes per Sector: \t\t\t%u\n", 1 << pbsx->sect_size_bits); + exfat_info("Sectors per Cluster: \t\t\t%u\n\n", 1 << pbsx->sect_per_clus_bits); bd->cluster_size = 1 << (pbsx->sect_per_clus_bits + pbsx->sect_size_bits); Which results in this ouput when running dump.exfat exfatprogs version : 1.2.4 -------------- Dump Boot sector region -------------- Volume Length(sectors): 3203072 FAT Offset(sector offset): 2048 FAT Length(sectors): 448 Cluster Heap Offset (sector offset): 4096 Cluster Count: 49984 Root Cluster (cluster offset): 4 Volume Serial: 0x6eef953b Bytes per Sector: 512 Sectors per Cluster: 64 ----------------- Dump Root entries ----------------- Volume entry type: 0x83 Volume label: exfatfs Volume label character count: 7 Bitmap entry type: 0x20 Bitmap start cluster: 0 Bitmap size: 0 Upcase table entry type: 0x81 Upcase table start cluster: 2 Upcase table size: 6248 ---------------- Show the statistics ---------------- Cluster size: 32768 Total Clusters: 49984 Free Clusters: 49984 Reproducible: Always
can you please report this upstream?
Did this get reported upstream?
I've reported this upstream here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/issues/275
Apparently the issue is already fixed but not yet in a released version. We can fix it locally in 1.6. From upstream: "These are the two commits which are needed. They apply cleanly to GParted 1.6.0 so can be extract as patches for backporting into a distribution package of GParted 1.6.0." Not sure how often they release new versions. May be worth backporting?
