https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228707 Summary: Problem with RAID partitioning on HP Smart Array E200 controller on openSUSE 10.2 final x86_64 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dengel@vud.sk QAContact: qa@suse.de HW: HP ProLiant 320 G4, HP Smart Array E200 controller with 2x80 GB SATA HDD, mirrored in RAID1 mode. Attempt 1: Good working openSUSE 10.1 in the box. After boot from distribution dvd openSUSE-10.2-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso ends my attempt for system update with message: System update is impossible for system incompatibility. (10.1 -> 10.2 both x86_64 and incompatibility?) Attempt 2: In the box is still running openSUSE 10.1 with classical Linux partitioning schema on RAID: "swap", "/" and "/home". After booting from openSUSE-10.2-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso I choose "New installation" with idea reformat existing partitioning schema. But after activating of the partitioning section in the setup dialog appears message: "The partitioning on disk /dev/cciss/c0d0 is not readable by the partitioning tool parted, which is used to change the partition table. You can use the partitions on disk /dev/cciss/c0d0 as they are. You can format them and assign mount points to them, but you cannot add, edit, resize, or remove partitions from that disk with this tool." The "expert" partitioning option shows in the table only one line: /dev/cciss/c0d0 - 74.4 GB - CCISS disk 0/0 Every attempt to add new partition ends with previously mentioned message. After booting from 10.1 dvd is the partitioning schema correct and editable. Attempt 3: Using SmartArray bios I had delete existing RAID1 and then I create new RAID1 device with the same parameters, but this time of course raw. After booting from openSUSE-10.2-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso it was possible in the expert partitioning dialog correct create and edit new RAID partitioning. Also the whole 10.2 setup procedure was correct. After reboot of the installed system from RAID all seems to be ok. Activation of the yast partitioner leeds to the same error message from the Attempt 2. But invoking parted from command line shows correct results: # parted /dev/cciss/c0d0 print Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 4302MB 4302MB primary linux-swap , , , , , , , , , type=82, , 2 4302MB 80.0GB 75.7GB primary ext3 boot, , , , , , , , , type=83, , It seems to be a YAST error.
