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

Of course I tried with size 9Gb for partition 3 to get same size for sum of partitions 1-3, not 10Gb as stated above. I did copy & paste from an old config.

I've got a partition section like this.

Thanks but I think this won't help me as I want to resize partions 1-3 and format with ext3 instead of reiserfs. Please read my first post. I already used something like you proposed and it works fine if all partions stay the same and you only want format or keep data. In my case partions 1 -3 three change in size but the sum of their size stays the same, therefore allowing me to keep patition 4 as it is. Hope I made myself clear and this is doable with autoyast.
