[opensuse-autoinstall] How to keep a single partition ?

5 Dec 2007

      Hi,

I want autoinstall with opensuse 10.3.
HD is already partioned with SuSE 10.1, it has 4 primary partitions with 
reiserfs.

1. swap		   1Gb
2. /		   15Gb			reiserfs
3. /export/opt	   15Gb			reiserfs
4. /export/home	   43.5Gb (max)		reiserfs

I want to resize and reformat 1-3 with ext3 and keep data on 4.

1. swap         2Gb
2. /            20Gb                    ext3
3. /export/opt  9Gb                     ext3
4. /export/home 43.5Gb                  reiserfs <--- keep data !

I tried various configuration but I always get an error message:
"Error while configuring partitions, Try again". I only get something
workable if I create and format partition 4. too.

I tried with and without the <keep_partition_num> and <usepart> lines.
I tried with <use>all</use> too. I checked y2log but could not detect the
problem. Can someone please help ?

Here is one of the setups which don't work :

   <partitioning config:type="list">
     <drive>
       <device>/dev/sda</device>
       <partitions config:type="list">
         <partition>
           <create config:type="boolean">true</create>
           <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
           <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
           <mount>swap</mount>
           <mountby config:type="symbol">id</mountby>
           <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id>
           <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr>
           <partition_type>primary</partition_type>
           <size>2gb</size>
         </partition>
         <partition>
           <create config:type="boolean">true</create>
           <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
           <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
           <mount>/</mount>
           <mountby config:type="symbol">id</mountby>
           <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
           <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr>
           <partition_type>primary</partition_type>
           <size>20gb</size>
         </partition>
         <partition>
           <create config:type="boolean">true</create>
           <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
           <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
           <mount>/export/opt</mount>
           <mountby config:type="symbol">id</mountby>
           <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
           <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr>
           <partition_type>primary</partition_type>
           <size>10gb</size>
         </partition>
         <partition>
           <create config:type="boolean">false</create>
           <format config:type="boolean">false</format>
           <mount>/export/home</mount>
           <partition_nr config:type="integer">4</partition_nr>
 	  <usepart config:type="integer">4</usepart>
         </partition>
       </partitions>
       <use>1,2,3</use>
       <keep_partition_num>4</keep_partition_num>
     </drive>
   </partitioning>
