Hello Randall,
OK I know where everything is presentlybut if you are doing an upgrade you never get to see the partioner. It just supplies you with this incorrect information.
That is not true. Use the fancy / full-feature partitioner, not the "we know what's best for you" mode.
Hello again Randall,
I'm sorry, but it is true, There is no way to access the expert partitioner when you try to do an upgrade. (11.0 to 11.2) You can see all of the partitions but not their labels which are all marked Linux unknown except for the boot partitions which have the bogey (new3ly revised ??) disk letters.
When upgrading, you shouldn't actually _need_ to access the partitioner. What should happen, and at least did with my last 10.3 to 11.1 upgrade[0], is that the installer looks to see what installations are available that can be upgraded and it asks which one to upgrade. The fstab is for that installation then read and the various file systems are used. [0] on a PPC, and not actually successful, just in case you're curious. To get it to work I ended up having to do a full install.
