--- Comment #2 from Patrick Schaaf
In such a case I would propose to make an "normal" installation with the desired partition settings.
I don't see a way to do that either. Starting in the "Expert Partitioner" screen with nothing but the "Hard Disk" /dev/vda, when I select that drive, and press Alt-e for "edit", I cannot define it as a root "partition" to be formatted, but am led to the "Overview / Partitions" screen which wants me to add a vda1 partition (which is not what I want). The only other option I see to use /dev/vda, is to create an LVM volume group out of it. I'll try that now, just to see what the "yast clone_system" autoyast generated file will then look like, but that's also not the setup I want to have. By the way, with that selected in the isntaller (just a volume group xxx with a logical volume root, on vda, I notice that the "Installation Settings" confirmation screen then completely lacks the usual "Partitioning" display or choice - it does not show any partitioning (or volume group / logical volume) information at all. It does proceed to do as told, though, creating my volume group directly on vda -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
