Hello list,
I have problems with partitioning and autoinstall on SuSE 9.3.
What I want to do on my 120gb SATA disk:
sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, /
sda2 => extended, 8gb
sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home
sda4 => primary, ext3, rest (=max), /daten2
sda5 => logical, 4gb, swap
sda6 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3
sda7 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3
What I get is:
sda1 => primary, 8gb, ext3, /
sda2 => primary, 8gb, unformatted
sda3 => primary, ext3, 48gb, /home
sda4 => extended, 8gb
sda5 => logical, ext3, 40gb, /daten2
sda6 => logical, 4gb, swap
sda7 => logical, 2gb, /var, ext3
sda8 => logical, 2gb, /tmp, ext3
My autoinst.xml-partitons section lokks like this:
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
<device>/dev/sda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/</mount>

<size>8gb</size>

<format config:type="boolean">true</format>

<size>2gb</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<mount>/tmp</mount>
131
7
<size>2gb</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
</partitioning>
I have tried various possibilities (leaving the
extended, different sorting etc.)
without success.
In other words: is it impossible to have an extended partition sda2 with
autoyast? Is there a way how to do it? Maybe with pre-install-scripts?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thank you,
Boris
