https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737957 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737957#c0 Summary: New installation does not import fstab - lost feature. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- New installation does not import fstab - lost feature. When installing 12.1 system from DVD there is the option to "import partition setup", which I assume it does what previously did the "read fstab from previous install" did on 11.4. It asks me to click on one partition, to import from. Well, it doesn't. It doesn't import the partition layout as stated in the fstab of the partition I told it to import from. I had to manually create the partition setup. Cumbersome! This feature is needed to install fresh on top of a previous install. There is need to read fstab, grub, and password files. And it worked before, save grub. It is absurd to have enter details that are available in the previous install. -- 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.

You import the fstab from sda7. The fstab contains several entries and the next overview is: Format partition /dev/sda6 (196.08 MB) for /boot with ext2 Format partition /dev/sda7 (30.00 GB) for / with reiserfs Use /dev/sda5 as swap Set mount point of /dev/sda8 to /home Set mount point of /dev/sda9 to /other Set mount point of /dev/sda2 to /windows/C Set mount point of /dev/sda3 to /windows/recovery Set mount point of /dev/sda1 to /windows/system But after that you clicked the button to toggle a separate home partition and this generates a new proposal overriding the import. Please describe in more details what is wrong from your point of view. -- 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.

The proposal to format sda6 and sda7 would destroy the other system in the machine. The logs should show that I attempted the procedure several times, importing from sda6, then sda9, trying to get a proposal to format sda9 only and mount the rest as is. I even got proposals to reformat /home. -- 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.

But you imported fstab twice from sda7 and not sda9, look for "ImportMountPoints device:/dev/sda7". So I see this as an user mistake. -- 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.

I told it several times to import from sda9 and it refused. The result displayed was not consistent with having imported the fstab from sda7 nor sda8, or i would have recognized it.

I tried more than a total of two times, there is missing info in that log. I'm not that daft. Please close as missing info, but not as invalid because I'm stupid clicking the wrong partition. Don't you suppose that with more than ten years experience, if I see wrong results I would not try again clicking differently?
