https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=306029 Summary: installation try to mount ntfs partition and exit install on error Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dkukawka@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I have tried to install 10.3beta2 on a Acer TM 3000 with a windows NTFS partition. I have finished partitioning and package selection ans started the installation. After format my existing partition, yast try to mount the windows NTFS partition which fail with -3003. See attached logs and screenshot. 1) Why try yast to mount the windows partition which I didn't change and which is not needed while installation? 2) Why try yast to mount it writable via fuse/ntfs-3g, this is not needed and potential problematic if e.g. something go wrong while install (e.g. yast eat the memory and OOM-Killer kill the fuse process as only one screnario). If the mount is really needed (the only case I see atm is if the user try to install to a NTFS partiton, wich wasn't the case here) mount via kernel ntfs filesystem as RO 3) The partition is not needed for the installation. Why exit yast the installation process in this case? If yast exit also the complete error message for the user is _useless_ (see screenshot) there is no way for the user to change the fstab, there is only a 'OK' button which end the install process. There should be a 'Ignore' button which would allow the user to force the installation (with a text like this: "I know, what I do and I don't need the partition while installation.") -- 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.
