https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299667#c3 Christian Boltz changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |NEW Info Provider|suse-beta@cboltz.de | --- Comment #3 from Christian Boltz 2007-08-13 05:17:28 MST --- Ah, my famous disk layout ;-) # ls -l /var # (date and owner removed) lrwxrwxrwx account -> ../home/var/account/ lrwxrwxrwx adm -> ../home/var/adm/ lrwxrwxrwx agentx -> run/agentx/ lrwxrwxrwx cache -> ../home/var/cache/ lrwxrwxrwx cvs -> ../home/var/cvs/ lrwxrwxrwx games -> ../home/var/games/ lrwxrwxrwx lib -> ../home/var/lib/ drwxrwxr-t lock/ drwxr-xr-x log/ lrwxrwxrwx mail -> spool/mail/ lrwxrwxrwx opt -> ../home/var/opt/ drwxr-xr-x run/ lrwxrwxrwx spool -> ../home/var/spool/ lrwxrwxrwx tmp -> ../home/var/tmp/ lrwxrwxrwx X11R6 -> ../home/var/X11R6/ lrwxrwxrwx yp -> ../home/var/yp/ /var/lib is a symlink to /home/var/lib, and /home is an encrypted partition. (Needless to say that YaST couldn't mount this partition because of bug 258222, however it usually doesn't even try in that early stage.) Oh, I think now I see where this issue could come from: - when the harddisk is recognized as hda, YaST at least knows that the symlink points to an existing partition found in /etc/cryptotab - when the harddisk is recognized as sda, YaST still searches for the encrypted partition as "hda6" (see bug 258222) which does not exist (it's "sda6" now) I think this bug is related to bug 258222, maybe even a strange duplicate. However I still wonder: If the partition is recognized as openSUSE 10.2, it should also be listed by default... -- 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=299667#c5 --- Comment #5 from Christian Boltz 2007-08-13 05:24:54 MST --- Huh? I'm using this disk layout since several releases, and never had problems with it. Maybe it doesn't match your "supported disk layouts" checklist, but the upgrade always works well ;-) Anyway, I expect this bug to be fixed with bug 258222 and will retest in beta2. -- 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=299667#c7 Christian Boltz changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |aj@novell.com Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|INVALID | Version|Beta 1 |Beta 2 --- Comment #7 from Christian Boltz 2007-08-27 17:01:49 MST --- reopening as recommended of AJ ;-) first, YaST really didn't like my disk layout, causing lots of errors: - /etc/fstab was not converted -> nothing except / could be mounted - /etc/cryptotab was not converted -> my encrypted partition could not be mounted - /boot/grub/device.map was not converted second: YaST detects the partition as "openSUSE 10.2" when activating "show all partitions", so it should also list in the default view. third: If YaST really needs data from an encrypted partition or directory (like /var/lib/hardware), it should ask for the password of encrypted partitions earlier. forth: the encrypted partition was mounted after choosing the partition to update (and editing cryptotab), so the symlink got valid. (Yes, I use relative symlinks.) I don't see why it couldn't read /var/lib/hardware then. fifth: if you really declare this as unsupported, there should at least be an error message ("can't access /var/lib/hardware on partition /dev/sdaX") - this would avoid lots of problems later. y2logs: http://www.cboltz.de/tmp/y2logs-103b2.tar.bz2 - too large for bugzilla -- 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.
