https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481938 Summary: Partitioner does not accept name for mountpoint, after formatting. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: 64bit OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: monkey9@iae.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer I had to format a CF-Disk, and put Fat16 on it: VFAT. While trying to do the job, i experienced a few difficulties: It is not obvious to choose VFAT, of Fat16. It is not selectable as such, only win95 Fat 32 is visible.
From the select boxes one must make too many choices (imho) How many: 1 or 2, Bit: 12, 16 or 32 and Root dir. The auto choices do not automaticly make the right choice. As i formatted with 'auto' on, it choose win95 Fat32, on my 2GB CF-Disk.
But the real problem is that it does not suggest what to write to be able to mount it. I read the manual about 7 times, very carefully, but i simply cannot understand what to write were, to get the disk mounted. My suggestion here is: Create a more visible VFat of Fat16 option, because, as you can see from the screenshot, the VFat disk is labeled: FS-ID: 0x0C Win95 FAT32 LBA which is not correct. For the mountpoint option: suggest a name of path or whatever, anything, that will be accepted as mountpoint. Too me it is not important by what name it is mounted, but 'THAT' it is mounted. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
