The log files are in ramdisk during installation or repair. You have to copy them to USB stick or over the network before you reboot. Read http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST#I_reported_a_YaST2_bug.2C_and_now_I_am_aske... 2. You can also run the repair module on the installed system, just write '/sbin/yast2 repair' command as root. Is the behaviour same as from installation DVD? If yes, please attach also logfiles from this session. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Please, could you test it also on installed system (point 2 from comment #3)? I assume it will fail as well, but for installed system I could provide a patch to test (I think I already know where is the problem). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Title of this bug: "Bug 228813 - Automatic system repair from install media can't do anything if / is on XFS" anyways, for me it WAS rather critical, see bug #228806. since grub was caught in that reboot loop, i couldnt even get into windows... wasted two days of my precious free time over the weekend where i usually would do juch more interesting things than wrestle a computer into submission... -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=228813 ------- Comment #10 from jsuchome@novell.com 2006-12-20 02:15 MST ------- Well, you're right that the whole problem can be called critical, but actually the critical part is what broke your system (bug #228806) and not that yast2-repair cannot repair it. Yes, there is a silly bug in yast2-repair that prevents correct XFS detection (the yast module checks for "uuid" in xfs_admin output, while it actually prints "UUID" in this version). Sure, this will be fixed in 10.3 Another note: the title is not really correct, the repair surely can do something, there are other tools repair offers, not only repairing corrupted file system. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

It assumes it has it if the output of this call contains "label" and "uuid" strings. Well, it looks like that this way it works, but I'm not sure if this is a correct check for partition type. Wouldn't it be better to check just return value of xfs_admin command? Michal, what do you think? Will xfs_admin call above always return 0 when called on xfs partition and non-0 otherwise? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
