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

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
