You might be best off to create your partitioning in advance of attempting to begin installing openSUSE. It's what I always do. When partitioning in advance, all that's necessary in the openSUSE partitioner is to select what gets mounted where and whether each is to be formatted or not. For one who only does installations infrequently: how should I go about partitioning in advance of installing openSUSE?
In any event, you may find it easier to select partition type EXT4 for / and /home instead of the rather immature can of worms that is the default type BTRFS. Before proceeding, search BTRFS to see the many issues arising since the change in default.
Thanks.
I get these error messages:
Some subvolumes of the root filesystem are shadowed by mount points of other filesystems.
Installation will encounter problems when booting because the disk on which your /boot partition is located does not contain a GPT disk label.
Solutions? (If you need further information, let me know what. I'm not experienced with the partitionary.) Thanks.
"Expert Partitioner" on the "Suggested Partitioning" screen doesn't really mean what it seems to mean. Instead, select "Create Partition Setup", which produces: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/422/yastI-PrtCreate422-0768.jpg
where the selection to make to get into the real expert mode is "Custom Partitioning (for experts)", producing these screens: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/422/yastI-PrtExpert422-0768.jpg http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/422/yastI-PrtCustomInsSumStart422-0768.jpg
This is actually what I did. Doing this shows only the 3 existing Windows partitions. When I attempt to add swap, root and home (under an extended partition), as described, then I get the warnings.
