![]() To get lsblk to display the correct partition table the iso9660 partition table had to be deleted. lsblk was using the TYPE and LABEL of the iso9660 partition table instead of the dos (Master Boot Record) partition table. ![]() ![]() The above printout confirmed that the iso9660 partition table created by SystemRescueCd was still present. So I ran the command wipefs /dev/sdc and wipefs /dev/sdc1 which printed information about sdc and all partitions on sdc: user]# wipefs /dev/sdc As an alternative to rebooting is there a way to rename the FSTYPE and LABEL of a block device manually so that I can change them to the original FSTYPE and LABEL that shipped with the external hard drive?įrom the output of lsblk -f in the original post I suspected that the signature of the installed SystemRescueCd was still present in the external hard drive.Could it be that the kernel is still using the old FSTYPE and LABEL because I haven't rebooted the system? Do I have to reboot the system to get rid of the old FSTYPE and LABEL?.The nautilus GUI app is also showing the old device label (sysrcd-5.2.2).Īfter creating a new partition table, parted suggested I reboot the system before formatting the device to ntfs, but I decided to unmount sdc instead of rebooting. └─sdc1 ntfs sysrcd-5.2.2 /run/media/user/sysrcd-5.2.2Īs shown in the output of lsblk -f only the FSTYPE of the partition sdc1 is correct, the sdc1 partition LABEL, sdc block device FSTYPE and LABEL are wrong. However when listing devices with lsblk -f I am still getting the old FSTYPE (iso9660) and LABEL (sysrcd-5.2.2) for the formatted device (sdc): NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT Before formatting the device SystemRescueCd was installed on the external hard drive using the command dd in order to be used as a bootable USB. I formatted an external hard drive (sdc) to ntfs using parted, creating one primary partition (sdc1).
