[opensuse-autoinstall] partitioning
I have an autoYast xml file with the following section as part of my overall partition plan <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> <lv_name>lv51root</lv_name> <mount>/</mount> <mountby config:type="symbol">device</mountby> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <resize config:type="boolean">false</resize> </partition> The disk is formatted as part of the install but not with the ext3 filesystem as I defined in the above section, but rather with the default filesystem for that particular openSUSE version. It gives Reiserfs with 11.1 and Ext4 with 11.2. From several examples found on the net I can not find what I'm doing wrong here. Can someone please indicate what I'm doing wrong here since I do not see any obvious errors in the logfiles as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

you have found a bug. If you reuse a logical volume, the configured filesystem is ignored. It only happens when you reuse an existing logical volume and not if you recreate it. So if you set "create" to true, it should work. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Hello, I installed yesterday a machine with existing partitioning. It was 32-bit system with opensuse 11.2. What happened was that the installation in the second stage (after boot) stopped in filesystemcheck on /var. A closer look showed that this partitition had somehow changed. It had size zero (ending at the same cylinder as it started). I could fix manually with fdisk that just putting a logical partition of maximal size in extended partition as it was formerly. The data generated during of stage 1 of installation reappeared and I could continue. The scheme I applied was: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext4</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <mount>/temp</mount> <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext4</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/var</mount> <partition_nr config:type="integer">5</partition_nr> </partition> </partitions> </drive> </partitioning> Greetings, David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

I was able to reproduce that. On the first sight it looks like a bug in yast2- storage to me but it needs some more debugging.

it's a bug in autoyast. You can workaround that by providing the partition_id. Autoyast is "guessing" it wrong. <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> should solve it -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Angels & Demons" by Assemblage 23 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Many thanks. I'll try that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
