Problem Creating Logical Partitions

21 Jun 2005

      Hi,

I would like AutoYaST to create three primary partitions
and one extended partition with two logical partitions inside.

The primary and extended partitions are created correctly,
but the creation of the logical partitions fails because
YaST tries to create them _behind_ the extended partition.

If I specify the logical partition sizes with region_entry as
sectors, everything works as expected. But this is not an 
option because I don´t want to be bound to specific disk 
geometries. So I can use <size> only... 

I have included the relevant part of my xml-file.

Any tips?

Regards,
Goetz
