https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421801 Summary: Disk partitioning tool does not properly recognize bootable OS/2 JFS (type 07) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lgrosenthal@2rosenthals.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer OS/2 (now eComStation) has had support for bootable JFS volumes for some time. Unfortunately, the partition type for bootable JFS is the same as for HPFS and NTFS, specifically, 07. The partitioner sees a type 07 partition and assumes it to be HPFS/NTFS, and inserts the incorrect fs data into /etc/fstab. Manually editing fstab to change the type to jfs results in the partition being properly mountable, however, many OS/2 users are not Linux experts, and expect the installer to handle this properly. Suggest partitioner be modified to examine the filesystem type (as it does for type 83) to determine whether it is indeed an OS/2 bootable JFS partition, and label it accordingly. -- 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.
