Bug#891834: gnome-disk-utility: gnome-disks sees empty space instead of an existing extended partition

[Andreas Henriksson]

Control: tags -1 + moreinfo

Hello,

You seem to have a very tightly packed partition layout. Doing that
with a DOS partition table might not give you the best compatibility.

Also please note that your sda3 starts on the same block as your sda2 ends.

Please try to provide useful information yourself if you want to have
a chance to find anyone interested in helping you debug this issue.

Please try to provide a gnome-disks screenshot and a binary partition
table (because I have no idea how to parse that /gnu/ fdisk dump).
