[opensuse] Installation from ISO
Hi, I'm somewhat a newbie to Linux. (Again) I tried to follow http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_using_images (The reason is that I could not burn the images, something allways goes wrong.) Anyway, installtion from the image does not work. I could read the iso and get all packages. Immediatly after setting up Yast and agreeing to all licences the installation starts and stops with Failed to mount /dev/sda6 on /mnt/var/temp/ap0x00001 Mounting media failed (mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or /mnt/var/temp/ap0x0001 busy) I could not skip this error message. /dev/sda6 is the location of the image. So it might be that the installtion system tries to again mount, what it already has mounted. (But IIRC /dev/sda6 was not set up to be mounted as /windows/something in the expert mode partition setup.) I also tried some other similar things with the iso image unpacked and then installing with harddrive as source, but it stops at the same time. Any ideas? Or is the iso image installation simply broken and I have to try harder for some more burning?

In one of the screens near the beginning, there is an opportunity to "check media" before starting your installation. Did you do that to make sure that the DVD is correct? Also, don't accept the default installation. In addition to a the partitions for swap, / and /home, I would advise ALSO slicing off some space for /tmp (on modern hard drives, 1 GB should be good), and /local and /opt for other software. Commercial products typically install themselves in /opt or in /local, or /usr/local. (make a symbolic link from /usr/local to /local). Why? When you upgrade your system, you want the ability to PRESERVE everything within those directory trees (/home, /local, and /opt), and you want /tmp isolated, because that is where temporary files are written. In the unfortunate event of a crash, having /tmp on a separate filesystem can mean the difference between having a system which you can boot up and repair, and a system which is totally hosed because essential files in the operating system got corrupted. Also, I advise using the XFS filesystem for /home, /local, /opt, and /tmp. Use Ext3 for / (and /boot if you decide to make that as a seperate partition). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I would not dare to say that. Maybe if you just have some windows partitions, but if you have several, SuSE's choice is always wrong. I just heard the other day, that in expert mode there is the option: import /etc/fstab from another install.

No. Perhaps I did write my questions a bit unclear since the procedure is not very common: I did boot from a network-install CD. Instead of installing from the network I then followed the instructions on the webpage and entered install=hd:/dev/sda6/suse/openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso into the line with the bootoptions.

Quite clear, It wanted to install into a external USB drive.
In addition to a the partitions for swap, / and /home, I would advise ALSO slicing off some space for /tmp (on modern hard drives, 1 GB should be good), and /local and /opt for other software. Commercial products typically install themselves in /opt or in /local, or /usr/local. (make a symbolic link from /usr/local to /local).
Thanks, could you elaborate how to best do this with 20GB in a primary partition and 4GB in an extended partition? (This is what is left after my Windows installation and I would be quite unhappy to again move everything around with parted.)
Also, I advise using the XFS filesystem for /home, /local, /opt, and /tmp. Use Ext3 for / (and /boot if you decide to make that as a seperate partition).

Well, ext2 is mostly used for smaller partitions, and very well suitable for storing kernels and such. About 100+ MB should be fine. / (root), is mostly ext3. as i used reiserfs, which is temporarily out of use, i cann't tell you about xfs, i now use ext3 for /home and /tmp also. You can maybe boot the dvd, and get to the partitioner, where you can 'see' the config of you existing partitions, and where an install proposel is made to you. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sizes really depend a lot on what software you intend to put on the system, and thus where it is located (standard /usr tree, or /opt or /local) But /boot can be as small as 50 MB and still have ample room for several different kernel versions. [When you update the kernel, it's nice to keep the previous version, in case the new kernel has a problem booting up on your system, or has some other malady]
Also, I advise using the XFS filesystem for /home, /local, /opt, and /tmp. Use Ext3 for / (and /boot if you decide to make that as a seperate partition).

XFS is a very reliable, journalled filesystem designed for high performance by SGI. Ext3 is not the same thing as Ext2. As Oddball noted, Ext2 is most appropriate for /boot. Ext3 is now the "standard" filesystem for Linux. It consists of the previous standard filesystem, Ext2, with journalling added to improve both reliability and performance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, ext3 may be the default fs du jour, but e.g on suse linux enterprise, the default is still reiser - and in my testing, when we were trying to decide on a standard filesystem choice for our new server builds, reiserfs beat jfs, xfs, and ext3 handily. In future, ext4, btfs and ocfs2 are all contenders for the "default fs" title. Unfortunately, Hans Reiser is embroiled in some legal difficulties which have clouded the outlook for reiser4.

I've never lost a file in a crash or power interruption on eitherr XFS or ext3 -- and this includes a year in Baghdad when my laptop's battery ran out while work crews would take down a generator for 4 hours to do periodic maintenance and repairs. In contrast, reiserfs has not fared so well -- On more than one occasion, a crash or power outage resulted in lost files... and this was on my home machine which had far fewer problems... one power disruption and a few system hangs (running out of swap). It was due to this experience that I set up the laptop to use XFS. After a year and a half, and MANY loss of power incidents, and a couple crashes, I've yet to lose a file on this laptop.

Right, as you know, it's unusual to lose data on a linux box, ever.

Yes, I know. But I'm a realist. And realistically speaking, I have found reiserfs to be far more fragile than advertised -- even under cushy conditions, and XFS to have had no data loss under some very abusive conditions.

I have no other indications that the hardware was faulty. The reiserfs filesystems were on IBM SCSI disks with an Adapted 19160 controller. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Each filesystem has strengths that recommend it for certain scenarios.

I beg to differ - reiserfs is still offered as an installation choice in opensuse, and it's the default filesystem in SLES - so it is most certainly maintained. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm a reiserfs fan :-) but read the archives, reiser devs recommand ext3, because there is not more scalability in reiser (reiser 4 may never be stable) so yes, there are security updates (I wonder if any is necessary :-), and you can safely still use installed reiserfs, but it's not recommanded to use them in new modern computers, alas... jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If I was real concerned about that I would use Ext3 with the data-journalling option. It will definitely negatively impact your write performance. ie. With normal metadata journalling, changes to the directory structure are done in a fault tolerant way in an attempt to prevent power failures, etc. in the middle of the process from causing filesystem damage. iiuc, data journalling is an attempt to similarly protect data writes even in the presence of a power failure.

I have had data loss under ext3, xfs, and reiserfs. The reiserfs one was a demonstrated repeatable software bug.

Hi,
I'm somewhat a newbie to Linux. (Again)
I tried to follow
http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_using_images
(The reason is that I could not burn the images, something allways goes wrong.)
Anyway, installtion from the image does not work. I could read the iso and get all packages. Immediatly after setting up Yast and agreeing to all licences the installation starts and stops with
Failed to mount /dev/sda6 on /mnt/var/temp/ap0x00001 Mounting media failed (mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or /mnt/var/temp/ap0x0001 busy)
I could not skip this error message.
/dev/sda6 is the location of the image. So it might be that the installtion system tries to again mount, what it already has mounted. (But IIRC /dev/sda6 was not set up to be mounted as /windows/something in the expert mode partition setup.)
I also tried some other similar things with the iso image unpacked and then installing with harddrive as source, but it stops at the same time.
Any ideas? Or is the iso image installation simply broken and I have to try harder for some more burning?
Regards, -- Michael Thomas Kirchner

I guess not yet :-( A bit old articles: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Partitioning_for_SuSE_Linux http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Manual_Partitioning_with_YaST2 http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Mounting,_Partitioning,_and_Configuring_File_Syst...

Useful: http://en.opensuse.org/Access_Your_Windows_Files While Sam Clemens (aka Mark Twain) will argue default partitioning scheme, his ideas demand a lot of background knowledge and planing that for daily desktop and new user are a bit too much to ask. With 20G + 4 GB that installer can gain from windows you can't do much, specially because 4 GB is extended partition and that is the place where openSUSE can create many partitions. Probably the best way would be to create another 4 GB primary partition in the begin of 20 GB space and using windows, format that partition the same way current 4 GB is formatted, usually it is FAT32, and copy all files to new partition. Than you will have one block of 24 GB. Before you do that check from windows is there any files marked as non-movable. That usually show as red stripes or blocks when you try to defragment partition. If yes than forget idea to make one block. If you have to use 20 + 4 GB as it is, you can create 2 primary partitions in 20 GB block and few smaller in 4GB. The limitations of PC partitioning are described in the begin of http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Partitioning_for_SuSE_Linux . For basic Linux system it is recommended to have swap, / (root of file system) and /home partitions. Though, in your case I would skip /home and create only swap (about 1 GB) and the rest would be / . The 4 GB would serve as archive or backup space. IMHO, 4 GB is too small for root of file system, or /home . My /home is 30 GB and it is feels small. I use another 40 GB as extension where are located virtual machines. The / is 20 GB and it is 40% used, so it could be half that size, and there is a bunch of programs installed. This way I have never problems with size of /tmp as it can take up to 12 GB before system locks.

on an openSUSE only install , there is little need of primary. The only problem with logical ones is that they are much more difficult to guess in case the partition table is lost. Save fdisk -l and there are no more problems

I always print that out, cut it down to a small piece of paper, and put it inside the case for safe-keeping. It can be a lifesaver if your partition table gets hosed.

NTFS will not be useful as backup space, unless your backup method produces a large file with permissions/ownerships indicated inside the backup file (say like tar or dump).
so it's a dualboot install, not openSUSE only, the new hard drive will have to accomodate the two systems.
Why not just use two disks? Keep the original disk, and throw in an additional disk for the Linux install.

I would like to check this again. First, if you had files in second windows partition that would be /dev/sda5 if it was in basic windows partition (with windows directory) it would be /dev/sda1 . The /dev/sda6 should be the new one, created in 4 GB empty space. In Linux /dev/sda1-4 are primary partitions. First logical partition is /dev/sda5, even if logical partition is created as second ie. /dev/sda2. That means that you can use /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 for another 2 primary partitions, and Linux has no problem that partitions are out of order. See my partition table: ---------------------------------------------------------------- # fdisk -l <snip> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 3135 25173855 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 6672 19457 102703514 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda3 * 3135 6672 28410952 83 Linux /dev/sda5 6672 6933 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 6934 9366 19543041 83 Linux /dev/sda7 9367 13014 29302528+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 13015 18237 41945715 83 Linux /dev/sda9 18237 19457 9807619+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order ---------------------------------------------------------------- The 'fdisk' noted that partitions are not in disk order and that is all. You can see that: - /dev/sda2 is extended, - /dev/sda3 comes before /dev/sda2 on disk, - /dev/sda4 is missing and system works fine. Maybe you should post your partition table using fdisk on some live CD. The openSUSE has one. Knoppix is another one. Otherwise: Reading the error again: "Failed to mount /dev/sda6 on /mnt/var/temp/ap0x00001 Mounting media failed (mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or /mnt/var/temp/ap0x0001 busy)" You should verify which was the case: /dev/sda6 was mounted or /mnt/var/temp/ap0x0001 was busy I guess first one was culprit as /dev/sda6 (4 GB) was probably in installation proposal to be included in the system, and it was mounted. To check, you can press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to the command prompt. To return to graphic installation you can press Alt-F7. On command prompt you can use command 'mount' : # mount it will list what is mounted. You can check before you confirm installation, and after you get error. Don't dismiss error before you check what is mounted in that moment. I'm running installation in virtual machine right now and when it is finished I'll make few checks.

OK. But I have more than one logical windows partion. sda5 sda6 ...

OK. What is the point?
Maybe you should post your partition table using fdisk on some live CD. The openSUSE has one. Knoppix is another one.
I do not see why my partition table should be the problem. It was created and modified by gparted with systemrescuecd. Do you suspect it not to be able to write a good partition table? I am unsure where this leads. However, by now I had to repartition the drive, so the information is lost.
Reading the error again: "Failed to mount /dev/sda6 on /mnt/var/temp/ap0x00001 Mounting media failed (mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or /mnt/var/temp/ap0x0001 busy)"
You should verify which was the case: /dev/sda6 was mounted or /mnt/var/temp/ap0x0001 was busy
I guess first one was culprit as /dev/sda6 (4 GB) was probably in installation
sda6 was a ntfs drive with about 40G or 60G.
proposal to be included in the system, and it was mounted.
No. I wrote this in my first message: | /dev/sda6 is the location of the image. So it might be that the | installtion system tries to again mount, what it already has mounted. | (But IIRC /dev/sda6 was not set up to be mounted as /windows/something | in the expert mode partition setup.) That is because I am quite sure to had it deleted as mount point after the first failed attempt.
To check, you can press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to the command prompt. To return to graphic installation you can press Alt-F7.
I tried to switch to a console but I could not leave the error message. I am not sure which key combinations I used. Alt-F2/Alt-F9 without ctrl does not work?
On command prompt you can use command 'mount' : # mount it will list what is mounted. You can check before you confirm installation, and after you get error. Don't dismiss error before you check what is mounted in that moment.
Certainly.
I'm running installation in virtual machine right now and when it is finished I'll make few checks. I don't think that is anything special with NTFS partition that will prevent installation. If installation program is using old read-only driver, it should be fine, as iso is mounted read only anyway.
OK, I thought about this and my position is: - I have a running system at the moment - to test your idea I would have to deinstall everything and then reinstall twice, once with error, once again working - the problem is minor and exotic, I could not even get some of the pros here to understand what is going on - reproducability is zilch, as I am up to now the only one to have observed this and that might be simply because I did something wrong - I am not an expert, I am not even a beginner -> It is not worth me trying to find the deep down cause for the problem.
