I then inserted the oS installation disk and booted from it. When it got to the s stage of suggesting partitions, it offered to put / on sda3 (20GB) and /home on sda4 (140.7GB); I did not make these, and I do not recognize the size numbers.
I rarely pay much attention to what the installer suggests, but maybe those are just the actual _suggestions_ ? Try "Reread partition table" and see what you get.
Fine idea. I don't see an option for "Reread partition table". Where is that?
It did put Swap on sda5, with the size I had made, and then listed sda6 and sda7 with the sizes I had made., without specifying mounting points.
Summarizing, it inserted 160GB into the partition array on its own initiative.
I think those are the _suggestions_ made - you can accept them or edit the partition setup to suit your own purpose.
I have always edited the offered arrangement. But I do not remember ever having the list of Available Storage being ficticious, as it is in this case. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
