Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] Partition not found during install

25 Jan 2008


      It turns out that if I use <max> as the last statement (for varlv in this example) or assign no more than 99% all works
well. In both cases I am left with around 10MB of freespace. 
Can someone explain why it fails if I assign 100%?

Hi all,
We just changed our fixed size partitioning scheme to a use percentages.
It works partially.
I am left with a rootlv and tmplv in the correct size, but the varlv 
produces an error. (see the attached log file,
search for "not found")
Looking at the partitioning, there is a freespace component of the exact 
size that varlv should be....
Below is the autoyast portion we use for the partitioning scheme.
Again, this used to work with fixed values....
