Hi baconicsynergy,

I'm not an expert regarding this, but it seems that the Sculpt Manager doesn't expect more than 9 partions on a disk. In repos/gems/src/app/sculpt_manager/model/storage_device.h, in the part_block configuration in line 228, it generates policies for partition labels 1-9. This is why your part_block rejects the mke2fs session request for the partition with "no policy defined for label '12'". Consequently, your mke2fs dies with "Block-session creation failed" and "No such file or directory".

I created a quickfix on my branch https://github.com/m-stein/genode/tree/sculpt-21.03b-baconicsynergy. Could you give it a try? I hope this is the only place where the Sculpt Manager assumes such a limit. Maybe we should come up with a more generic solution to this problem.

Cheers, Martin

Hello friends!!

Lately, I've taken to multi-booting a whole bunch of different operating systems on my Thinkpad x250 with my new 1TB SSD for educational purposes. And, I find it very humorous to have such a varied collection of OS's and I enjoy finding ways to get them to play nice with each other. So far I've multibooted Solaris 11, Windows 10, OpenBSD 6.9, Arch Linux, Ubuntu Studio 21.04, Rocky Linux 8.3, Haiku R1/Beta2, in that order, and I've saved the last partition for Genode. I'm using rEFInd as my boot loader.

Here is my gdisk output for my SSD: GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.6

When I attempt to format the final partition from within Sculpt 21.03b, I get a strange error:

I really want Genode to take part in this wonderful collection I've built. I wonder why it won't format?
