http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=914582 Bug ID: 914582 Summary: dual-boot default installation proposes deleting a required partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: bugzilla@colorremedies.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 620734 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=620734&action=edit y2logs.tgz UEFI Windows 8.1 system, out of the box (and also when restored) has 8 partitions. By default opensuse 13.2 proposes shrinking one partition (OK), and deleting another (bad). The partition type GUID for the partition it suggests deleting is Intel Rapid Start D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593, gdisk code 8400. This partition is necessary to support fast boot time on Windows, by default it contains a hibernation-like image on shutdown and when deleted corruption of the Windows volume ensues since the system isn't resumed properly. The bug is two fold: mainly the problem is the suggested partitioning is a bad suggestion. Second, even though it shows in red text that it will delete partition /dev/sda7 there's no description at all what this partition is for the user to make an informed decision. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
