It seems gnome-disk-utility is pretty limited in what it can do for me. Half the things I try give me errors like this:

Error Creating Disk Image
Error allocating space for disk image file: Invalid argument (g-io-error-quark, 13)

I saw in another post that installing gdisk would get rid of the errors so I installed it. I'm still getting errors.

Code: Select all

An error occured
Error seeking to offset 2225496064 (g-io-error-quark, 13)

Error mounting filesystem
Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /media/justin/4380b11d-8416-4e71-96b3-3d1b010e8861: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sdb2" "/media/justin/4380b11d-8416-4e71-96b3-3d1b010e8861"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

And so on and so forth...

Thanks so much for that link!

Step 1: Uninstall gnome-disk-utility
Step 2: Do this:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-tests
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility

All better now? Enjoy!

workarounds are good but this tool is a serious problem.
you can easily break the system.

has anybody alerted the Mint team?
has anybody filed a bug report?

I am trying to do that, but am at a loss
Thanks

I just tried to benchmark a new 1TB drive with a fresh 100 GB empty partition set up as ext4 using 32 bit Linux Mint 17.3 Did benchmark with same system, and get similar error, even now Jan 2018.
