After going through all install settings, including software selection, I went to the final install stage. Error - failed to mount "/home". I chose to continue anyway. Then, for the reboot, I first checked from another system. There was no entry for "/home" in "fstab" nor in "crypttab". I manually edited those in, then proceeded to restart the newly installed system. That went fine. Second system (32 bit): On this system, root, home and swap are part of an encrypted LVM. The partitioner did not recognize the previous system for importing the partitioning, so I had to manually create partitioning. That part was almost okay, except it would not allow "/home" (shown by the partitioner as "/dev/system/home". It said it could not mount a file system of unknown type. Continuing with second system woes. The partitioner showed the file system type for "/dev/system/swap" as "ext4". So, to get through the partitioner, I told it to format as swap and mount as swap. Still continuing: After the rest of the settings, including software selection, it reported that: --- approximate wording --- Failure occurred during the following action: Formatting logical volume "/dev/system/root" (21.78Gb) with ext4 System error code was -3030 --- end of approx wording --- It gave me an option to abort or continue. At that point, I hit CTRL-ALT-F2 to get a command line. The directory "/dev/system" did not exist, but "/dev/mapper/system-root" did exist. I created "/dev/system", and added the needed symlinks for the three logical volumes. Then I formatted the root volume with "mkfs". Then I used CTRL-ALT-F7 to return to the installer screen, and told it to continue. That seemed to go fine. At the end of install (just before the reboot), I stopped the reboot countdown, use CTRL-ALT-F2 again, mounted the root volume, edit "fstab" there, and added an entry for mounting "/home". Thereafter things seemed to go okay. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: The mounting, formatting should have gone fine, without the listed problems. -- 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.
