RE: [suse-autoinstall] Partitioning/swap

Hello, this is an easy one: you did not enter the moutpoint correctly! This is the Way I did it and it works... <partition> <size>500mb</size> <mount>swap</mount> <filesystem config:type="symbol" >swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean" >true</format> </partition> Hope that helps Thorsten -----Original Message----- From: Volkmar Glauche To: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Sent: 26.09.2002 11:59 Subject: [suse-autoinstall] Partitioning/swap Hi, last time I reported problems with creating and mounting swap partitions in connection with lvm setup. This time it is a single disk, ide setup, but the same problem. Yast says during partitioning, that it is creating a filesystem for "/" on both /dev/hde5 and /dev/hde6, where only /dev/hde6 is used for "/" in reality. /dev/hde5 should have become a swap partition, but it is neither initialised nor the corresponding entry added to /etc/fstab. Does anyone out there have suggestions what might be wrong in the attached code snippet?

I will try this one, but thats a bit confusing, because /etc/fstab says usually something like /dev/sda5 none swap so, the mount point should be "none" or empty in that terminology...
