I want to install voidlinux. So I partitioned disk using cfdisk, but void-installer(and lsblk) show me different results. lsblk tells me that I have 4 partition, when cfdisk tells me only about 3. These partitions also have different sizes.

cfdisk

lsblk

    What does /proc/partitions say?

    Also, if you plan to use that 256MB partition for /boot, make it bigger. I go for 1G lately.

    If you can, try deleting all the partitions and re-create them using GPT instead of DOS (MBR) and see if it then shows the same. Also agree that you should make your boot partition 1G.

        Block size? I’ve never seen that message before and I don’t think it’s relevant here. It should redetect the partitions to what they actually are though, but I assume it doesn’t for you.

        Also, are you sure you want MBR on that disk instead of GPT? (At least, I think that’s what “Label: dos” means)

          Actually, I don’t really know differences between. Just all guides use cfdisk and I forgot about mbr and gpt. But I changed mbr to gpt using gdisk(after start he say, that I have mbr and gpt and which I want to use. I chose “create blank gpt” and now I can use gdisk to partition disk. And after gdisk lsblk show right information! Thats it
