autoinstall when using two drives

9 Jul 2003

      I am trying to use AutoYast2 to install a system with two hard drives.
I am using SLES8.
I want to destroy all existing partitions on both drives and then create
the following:
sda: /boot, /swap, /   (using default values)
sdb: /data  (which takes up the entire second drive)

When I add the information to the partition section of the autoinstall.xml
file, I get the following error:
"Partition '/data' needs 2.00 MB more disk space.  Please deselect some
packages."
Then if I click "OK", it continues with the installation and then returns
another error:
"Could not format /dev/sdb5"

Here is the partition section of my latest autoinstall.xml:
   <partitioning config:type="list">
      <drive>
        <device>/dev/sda</device>
        <reuse>all</reuse>
        <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
        <partitions config:type="list">
          <partition>
            <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
            <crypt_key></crypt_key>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem>
            <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
            <mount>/boot</mount>
            <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
            <size>auto</size>
          </partition>
          <partition>
            <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
            <crypt_key></crypt_key>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem>
            <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
            <mount>swap</mount>
            <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
            <size>auto</size>
          </partition>
          <partition>
            <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
            <crypt_key></crypt_key>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem>
            <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
            <mount>/</mount>
            <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
            <size>auto</size>
          </partition>
        </partitions>
      </drive>
      <drive>
        <device>/dev/sdb</device>
        <reuse>all</reuse>
        <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
        <partitions config:type="list">
          <partition>
            <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
            <crypt_key></crypt_key>
            <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
            <mount>/data</mount>
            <filesystem config:type="symbol">jfs</filesystem>
            <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
            <size>max</size>
          </partition>
        </partitions>
      </drive>
    </partitioning>

Has anyone else seen this problem or know what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks,
Debora
