Setting up swap and lprng printers with autoyast
Since cloning a partition setup with the autoyast GUI isn't possible I tried to do it by hand. I want 1 GB swap on /dev/hda1, 20 GB / on /dev/hda2 and the rest as /home on /dev/hda3. Setting it up with autoyast will result in the config down below and the error message 'could not set up swap partition on /dev/hda1' during install. Only thing I added was the <partition_nr> part but it also fails without it. Is see more configuration problems arising as I want to use lprng, not cups. How do I configure printers with autoyast2 GUI without using cups ? I guess its not possible ? Please point me to some complete autoyast documentation. All I have now is the 66 page AutoYaST pdf which is very scarse and I don't want to swamp the mailing list with my newbie questions. Here is the config.xml part which will fail to set up swap : <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <crypt>twofish256</crypt> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>1gb</size> </partition> <partition> <crypt>twofish256</crypt> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> <mount>/</mount> <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> <crypt>twofish256</crypt> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs> <mount>/home</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> -- Henrik Schmidt Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet zu Kiel Institut fuer Informatik +49 (431) 880 75 - 50 Fax or 43 Phone Olshausenstr. 40 http://www.ks.informatik.uni-kiel.de 24098 Kiel, Germany email: hbs@ks.informatik.uni-kiel.de
You are missing the "create" tags. Download my examples from here: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ayex.tgz It contains a script "makePartition". Feed it with a fstab-like file like: /dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 1gb /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 20gb /dev/hda3 /home reiserfs defaults max and select "new", "hda" and tell it which partitions to format. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
