[opensuse] upgrade to 11.0 - update mode - fstab
Hi folks, I had some problems updating a 10.3 system to 11.0. The upgrade did not find any root partition. Then I did a show all partitions and selected the right partion. Then I got an error which redirected me to "support.novell.com/techcenter/sdb/en/03/fhassel_update_not_possible.html" The only correct hint in this story was "a possible error in fstab" After some useless exercises I decided to do for test a new install. he instal was without any problems. Then I copied the 11.0 fstab to the old system. The the update ran without any problem. After examining the both fstabs, the only difference I found was: In the bad one where TAB's used in the records. In the correct one where spaces used in the records. I hope that this story is usefull, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think you should report this in bugzilla, so that it can be corrected, or at least, documented. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It certainly will or might have been to me. Very nice catch. Thanks for the heads up. -- Brian K.
