https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330705 Summary: upgrading from 10.2 to 10.3 with separate /var/ parition and new libata dev-names trashes whole system/upgrade process Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: abittner@stud.fh-heilbronn.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- hello there, i have apparently found out, that an upgrade from opensuse 10.2 (x86, goldmaster dvd standarinstall, no additional packages except for the standard offerings for kde install, all the latest online_update patches applied) to opensuse 10.3 x86 goldmaster dvd kills the whole system in opensuse 10.2 the normale ide/ata/pata/atapi devicenames were still /dev/hdX for me. when going to opensuse 10.3 they change to /dev/sdaX on my systems (parallel ata harddisk and dvd rom drive) the yast update programm doesnt handle these new devicenames properly and forgets about the separate /var/ partition if you have one, and doesnt mounts it (doesnt ask for the new /dev/sdaX name for it) please do read my thread on the opensuse-testing mailinglist and what i have found out, its already documented there. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-testing/2007-10/msg00005.html i think this is a pretty major bug, if not even a showstopper. i have now for many years always been using separate partitions for /var/ (because of the logs for example, and other stuff like cache, etc...), so if an upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 fails due to such a basic partition, its pretty severe. thank you. andy. -- 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.
