Feature changed by: Greg Riedesel (Gracal) Feature #304500, revision 26 Title: Make storage failures non-fatal openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) reject date: 2008-07-29 13:04:58 reject reason: Postponing. Out of resources. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Christoph Thiel (cthiel1) reject date: 2009-06-03 08:34:12 reject reason: No resources for 11.2. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) Description: Currently all storage failures (during step "Prepare Harddisk") are fatal. E.g. if a partition cannot be mounted the installation is aborted. Some failures do not really harm, e.g. if mounting of a Windows partition fails that is not used for the installation. For other failures an really experienced user might fix the problem manually on the console. So for all failures the user should be asked whether the installation should continue.

All resources allocated with mandatory features already. + #6: Greg Riedesel (gracal) (2009-07-15 21:49:09) + When installng openSUSE on a latop with a hybernated Windows parition, + the current behavior will hard-stop the install. In some instances, if + there was a prior openSUSE install, the boot files may have already + been scrubbed when the mount-failure occurs that hard-stops the + install. In this case, the laptop will become unbootable. The only way + around it is to complete the openSUSE install, and explicitly remove + the Windows parititions from fstab as part of the disk-parititioning + dialog. That way the Windows partitions are not mounted during + installation and won't throw an error. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/304500
