https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208437 Bug ID: 1208437 Summary: "It was not possible to propose an initial partitioning layout" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.5 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: martin.wilck@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I was using a 15G disk for a VM installation. Because I use minimal installations usually, I know for certain that this disk won't be more than 10% full after I install. But YaST won't partition this disk if I either select btrfs snapshots, or the "transactional server" role. In both cases, the reason is probably an (estimated) lack of disk space. But the error message gives no clue about that. It just says "It was not possible to propose an initial partitioning layout even after adjusting the Guided Setup settings: - do not propose swap. Please, use 'Guided Setup' to adjust the proposal settings or 'Expert Partitioner' to create a custom layout". But using "Guided Setup" doesn't help, it just fails with the same error message, again. And at least for the "transactional server" case, I am an unsure how to setup the partitions correctly with the "expert" partitioner. At least there, when I click "Accept", I get a somewhat more helpful error popup telling me that a 20GB root device is necessary, where I can either say yes or no. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
