Hi,

I have problem with my partitioning plan.
My client /vag/y2log shows the following message:
Last output: You must delete some partititions and add an extended
partition first.
I work with suse 8.1 and autoyast2-installation-2.6.40-0.
On the client side the drive has linux partitions and an windows
FAT (/dev/hda1) partition that I want delete and reuse as an linux partition.
In the AutoYast2 documentation are four possibilities for the <use> tag:
(chapter 4.1.4):

Use free space -> free
Reuse all available space -> all
Reuse all available linux partition -> ?
Reuse only specified partitions -> eg: 1,2,3, ... ?

What is the <use> value for "Reuse all available linux partition" and
"Reuse only specified partitions" ?

And how can I tell autoyast2 to create an extended partition ?
I read that it will be created automatically, where is the problem ?

Best regards,


Claude Arnold
