I installed Debian 13 on an external SSD USB disk: it works perfectly.The partitions are as follow:
~# lsblk -f
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS
sda
├─sda1 vfat FAT32 B4F6-A385
├─sda2 ext4 1.0 root 2cf698f9-c41d-4ae9-9101-0753434a6efb
├─sda3 swap 1 3fda4686-a715-434f-9f1e-9f9817af28be
├─sda4 ext4 1.0 home 92de1f48-ca4e-4dfc-9b6b-1a1b1106bbfd
└─sda5 ext4 1.0 win 443597aa-e34d-49f7-8e77-aaa5c39c3539
nvme0n1
├─nvme0n1p1
│ vfat FAT32 BFDD-41CE 502,2M 2% /boot/efi
........
When I connect this SSD to my laptop and mount the three partitions on /media/<user>, only home and win display directories and files, /dev/sda2 appears empty, but the fsck command indicates otherwise.
~# fsck /dev/sda2
fsck from util-linux 2.41
e2fsck 1.47.2 (1-Jan-2025)
root: clean, 11/1831424 files, 159513/7323536 blocks
I tried another mount point, /mnt, but nothing changed.
What can I check to try to resolve this issue?
