http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552858 Summary: Live USB Stick destroys second partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: coolo@novell.com ReportedBy: folkyvolk@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; de) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.01 I downloaded opensuse-11.2 RC2 and followed this tutorial: http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick with a 4GB USB stick. I could boot to the live system successfully, but: The second partition was not recognized at all (only from fdisk). After doing mkfs with ext3 on it, and rereading the partition table it was recognized by konqueror as CD-Drive like the first partition. Strange is still, that parted cannot handle it and says it is a "recursive partition". When I now boot the live system, the second partition is not recognized, and seems to be destroyed at boot time. It is also not readable anymore by the system, where it was recognized before (on which I created the image). In the last lines of its boot.msg is something like "Resizing the filesystem on /read-only/fsdata.ext3 to 954560 (4k) blocks" this size varys depending on the size of the second partition I think. A live USB stick makes no practical sense without a working second partition, where I can save my preferences. Another topic is, that networkmanager cannot connect to my wpa-wlan with the live system, but it works, if I change the configuration with yast to ifconfig (iwlagn wlan chipset, model intel wireless wifi link 5100) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick 2. try to access second partition in live system -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
