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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481938 User monkey9@iae.nl added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481938#c5 --- Comment #5 from Robby Verberne 2009-03-05 01:17:18 MST --- When checking the format of the FS, it appeared to be Win95 Fat32, so formatting to VFAT (16) does not work. We are talking: OS: Linux 2.6.29-rc5-1-default x86_64 Huidige gebruiker: oddball@AMD64x2-sfn1 Systeem: openSUSE 11.2 Alpha 0 (x86_64) KDE: 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) "release 102" After formatted the disk with XP, and renaming it, it still could not be mounted. This is a nasty problem, as i need to copy some files i need to it. (as workaround i will transmit them to another pc, and copy then from there.) -- 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.

If you would try to do as i explain, you would be able to reproduce the bug: Format a cf disk, with fat16, which is not possible, and try to get it mounted, if you succeed, my system is faulty, and i have to wait upon a working netinstall iso, for a clean install. If after that clean install, this still happens, i will file a bug with KDE4.2 -- 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 have checked creating FAT partitions and it works fine. Using "/dev/sda" as a mount point is wrong! Manually mounting the partition is easy (as root): Create a mount point, e.g. "mkdir /cf", and call "mount /dev/sda1 /cf". Then look in the directory /cf. If that fails I need the error messages. If anything with YaST fails I need the YaST logs. -- 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.
