https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216953 Summary: parted error when resizing partition during installation Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mmarek@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I had a disk layout that looks like that (fdisk -l): Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 131 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 * 132 2742 20972857+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 2743 14077 91048387+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 14078 24321 82284930 5 Extended /dev/sda5 14078 14825 6008278+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 16322 17069 6008278+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 17070 17817 6008278+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 17818 24321 52243348+ 83 Linux Note the gap between sda5 and sda6. During installation, I choose to resize the sda5 partition _and_ reformat it. Unfortunately, resizing the partition using parted failed (I'll attach the logs). I wonder however, why yast needs to call parted to resize a partition that's going to be formated right away. Wouldn't fdisk suffice? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
