Ubuntu

Disk Image not mounted

Asked by kreasonos

Hello, I did a new install of Ubuntu Mate 16.04, and for some reason when I go to places/computer, I see two disk images, one is the name of my computers internal SSD and the other says File System. For some reason when I right click on the one with my SSD name, and click properties, it just says "unknown." Why is that? Is something wrong or is it supposed to do that? Is this because there's no disk utility running on Ubuntu Mate?

What file system(s) are the partition(s) on the SSD using and does it have another OS on it / them?

Thanks

/dev/sda1 (/boot/efi

and

/dev/sda2 (/)

sda2 seems to be the main partition i'm talking about and the corresponding disk image that's showing "unknown" I think this makes sense because when i run df command in terminal and check this partitions "mounted on" it just shows "/" so it's blank

I'm only running one OS, I did the fresh install of Ubuntu Mate 16.04

Also, when I click properties it says the file type is unknown too. But, when I go to open with, it says open samsung.drive and other files of type "drive document"

file type says: unknown type (application/octet-stream)

Why do you want to access the EFI data? It's not humanly readable and is used to boot the system..

/dev/sda2 being mounted as ' /' is where your Ubuntu system is installed. It is the root partition and the basis of the OS. Other file systems are mounted to folders as the system is instructed. For example, if you have a separate /home partition then /home is just a folder and the selected file system is mounted to it. Linux doesn't use restrictive drive letters.

Ok, thanks. I was hoping for at least some info and pie charts in properties.

Can you help with this problem?
