But the remaining problem is: why gparted does not see the partitions? fdisk and df can see roughly 2 partitions 20Go+480Go and gparted sees that mostly this disk has non-allocated space while the linux partition had 44Go of data on it...? Moreover, I tried to extend the small ext4 partition (2.84Mio according to gparted) to the next "non-allocated" space (465,45 Gio). gparted warned me that all my data will be lost... OK, I launch the dog.... It ran for 2 hours.... I stopped it and... nothing was done. even my data were not lost! Is gparted working?
