Partition table entries are not in disk order


My Dolphin

Under devices, they are sda5 (openSUSE), sda7 (Fedora boot), sda1 (win boot), sda3 (win recovery), sda2 (win7).
sda8 (Fedora) is missing. How could I fix it?
Thank you.

is the option to show all devices enabled ?

could it be that partition is set to hide ?

is the partition mounted ?

Thank you for reply.
Looked around the Configure dolphin settings but unsure how to get the answers for your questions. If you could further advise I would report back.

Probably a strange thing noticed from gparted. My sda8 is reported with zero unused (AFAICT not quite the case).

the Dolphin devices options are accessed by right clicking on the bottom area of the places panel

Just noticed that partition is a LVM PV, and I know nothing about them and that might be the cause of your issues

according to your parted image the fedora partition is not mounted, if you mount it does it show in devices ? Partitions don't need to be mounted to show in Places (iirc) but LVM be handled differently
if possible you should change the title of the thread to reflect that the issue is with a LVM partition

so I'm gonna do a bit of guessing:
- Places only display file system formated partitions, your partition is not formatted as a file system but as a physical partition available for a Logical Volume
- Gparted doesn't display/manage LVMs but shows /sda8 mounted as fedora, because that's the mount point of the LV that owns it
- /sda8's available space is shown as 0 because it is not available as it's part of a LV, so the LV owns the space
- fdisk doesn't display or process LVs so it also does not reflect all your file systems

to see and manage LV's you need to use your distro's partition manager (openSUSE's works for this), a LVM gui supplied by your distro (such as system-config-lvm) or the command line tools like lvdisplay, lvchange, etc ...

after mounting fedora volume it appears in dolphin.
