[Bug 470461] New: The installation partitioner suggests removal of the mac os partition eventhough there is plenty of other space

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470461 Summary: The installation partitioner suggests removal of the mac os partition eventhough there is plenty of other space Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: unspecified Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: d.pashov(a)gmail.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-2.5 Firefox/3.0.5 The default original partitioning on an intel mac is: Disk /dev/sda: 320GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 20.5kB 210MB 210MB fat32 EFI System Partition boot 2 210MB 53.8GB 53.6GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_1 (there is a lot of free space after 2 as you can see) there is usually one or more other partitions after those depending on what one did. The default solution in the partitioning section is to remove all partitions and create the necessary. This is highly undesirable and for many unacceptable solution. A new, relatively clueless user is not very likely to install openSUSE when (s)he finds that it wants to erase the whole computer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start openSUSE 11.1 or 11.2 installation on an intel mac. 2.Look at the default partitioning suggested by the installer 3. Actual Results: The installer wants to remove all partitions and create the necessary. Expected Results: It should leave the firs two partitions: the EFI and the mac os. The others could be left on the installer's mercy but the first two are essential. They should not be touched. May be the second (the mac os) could be auto mounted but that's not really necessary. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The above file is missing in RC1. I noticed it when attempting to install DNS. Afterward it also complained about it when trying to install DHCP. Simply adding the file manually made the problem go away so I'd say it's an easy fix for someone before this goes Gold Master.
