Hi,
I already read about the other problem with partition in RC1, but I think
the problems I have are different. It seems that the partition_nr statement
is completely ignored:
This profile
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/hda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<fstopt>defaults</fstopt>
<mount>swap</mount>
2
<size>1gb</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
</partitioning>
should result in a hard disk with just /dev/hda2 as swap. But it creates
/dev/hda1 as swap.
In a more complicated profile, I used partition_nr to setup this partition
table:
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 1gb
/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults 15gb
/dev/hda5 /local ext3 defaults 8gb
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 20gb
/dev/hda7 /usr/local/storage ext3 defaults max
I specified all partition like above (with create, format, partition_nr).
In SuSE 9.0 this would automatically create /dev/hda4 as extended partition,.
With 10.0RC1 it created 4 primary partition, using /local as /dev/hda3,
/home as /dev/hda4 and then failed to create another partition for
/usr/local/storage (of course).
I don't know if this is due to the problem with the partition_nr or if
autoyast lost the functionality to autodetect that /dev/hda4 must be an
extended partition.
So I tried to specify another entry
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
4
5
<size>max</size>
</partition>
according to the html documentation. This leads to
/dev/hda1 swap
/dev/hda2 /
/dev/hda3 <extended partition>
/dev/hda5 <no mount point>
/dev/hda6 /local
/dev/hda7 /home
/dev/hda8 /usr/local/storage
So this gets completely messed up :-) Especially this not-mounted
/dev/hda5 partition is very very strange.
So at the moment, partitioning is almost impossible with 10.0RC1 :-)
I have all the y2log files available, please let me know for which
examples you need them (if any).
cu,
Frank
