I'm having a problem with partitions: when installing the system I was advised to partition my hard drive into a "filesystem" and a "data" part.
So that's what I did.
But now I can't access the data partition. The partition appears in the Computer folder, under the name "Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB", but when I click on it there is an error message "Can't mount file".
Here is the output of fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 232,9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt

Thanks for your help !

Do you have 2 disks in total? If yes: did you create a partition table on the second disk? P.S.fdiskis deprecated: useparted --listin the future (no need for now)

I have a SSD I bought separately, and I replaced the original disk with the SSD. So now there's only the SSD in the computer.

Well, if you have only one disk, you did not partition it into "system" and "home" partitions: you only have theefiandswapand then/partitions and as the disk is already mounted, you cannot mount it again, so what's your question? (Sorry, man, dunno where to take this now)

If you partitioned your hard drive into a “filesystem†and a “data†part, but then you replaced the original disk with the SSD, then the “data†partition is in the trash (or wherever the original hard drive is now).  “Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB†appears to be your entire SSD (look at the sizes).  If you really believe that you have a problem that we can help you with, please edit your question to make it clearer and more complete.

I partitioned after having replaced the original disk. It appears I have access to ~230GB on the filesystem, but that another 250GB is inaccessible. Possibly the actual size of the SSD is 500GB, and half of it is currently not mounted.
