I have read the archives and cannot find a simular problem.
I want to create an auto-install CD that uses all available space on the disk. I want to create these partitions:
swap - 2GB
/ - 6GB
/boot - 2GB
/home - max(The rest of the drive) ... its a 36GB SCSI.
After the install i do a "df -h" to get these values for my partition.
rootfs - 2.0G - /
tmpfs - 2.0G - /
/dev/loop0 - 155M - /mounts/instsys
/dev/hdc - 340M - /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/.......
/dev/sda2 - 773M - /mnt
/dev/sda3 - 259M - /mnt/boot
/dev/sda4 - 3.1G - /mnt/home
I noticed, however, that if before I boot from the CD, I run fdisk /dev/sda, and clear the partition table, THEN boot from the CD I get the partition sizes I want. In AutoYast I selected to initialize the drive, and to "Reuse all existing partitions". It is a requirement that I have no user interaction setting up these machines with SuSe, and I dont want to have to clear out the partition table before I boot with the install CD every time. Here is my partitioning section. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to run fdisk and clear it out automatically before Yast probes the hard drives? I know the pre-install scripts run after the probe and the rules suggestion in previous postings do not work either. Thanks in advance.
