Hello list, we use AutoYast for a lot of different server types. Some of them have 32GB harddrives, others have bigger once with 72GB and so on. Thus the partitioning differs from server to server. Currently our linux system, with all its filesystems (/tmp, /usr ..), is about 2GB. The rest of the disk space is used for 10GB partitions for databases. Since we have different harddrives the number of additional 10GB partitions may vary. (example: 32GB means 3 additional partitions; 72GB => 7 additional partitions) Is there a feature (or a simple solution) which makes AutoYast create as much 10GB partitions as possible until the disk is full automatically? Therefore it should detect the size of the disk and then decide how many partitions it can create. Or do we have to change the control file manually? Or do we have to manage this with self-written scripts? Best regards Matthias Redlich

It all depends on what SuSE Linux release you are using. With recent releases this might be possible using rules. Anas
