Could you run this

parted -sm /dev/sdb unit B print

What about this

Interesting but the log you sent from journalctl did find parted somehow:

Yes. But parted seems to require sudo:

Ok, let me try to fix that

53

Could you update platform and try again?

snap refresh platform
54

It works!

But I cannot enable the drive I used previously for data. I get this error message in the gui:

exit status 1: Failed to enable unit: Unit /run/systemd/generator/opt-disk-external.mount is transient or generated.

Do I need to format the drive and copy all data? Or is there an easier solution?

55

I hope you have a backup.
Can you check journalctl or send logs so I can see the root cause?

56

Yes, I have a backup but it requires a lot of time. So would be happy if there is another solution. This should be the moment, where I tried again to enable the external disk (btw. the internal disk is sda now, external is sdb).

And one more thing: Under the old docker installation the external disk was mounted at /opt/disk/external. The disk is currently not mounted there but the directory still exists. Could this be related to the problem?

58

do you have a test disk to try formatting as I am not sure it will help?

59

not a problem, mount only works on existing dirs anyway.

60

another thing, I think previous attempts to activate may have corrupted your main disk as it was not expecting an unknown partition layout, so before you reboot make sure to copy any useful data.
You need to reboot once before continuing.
