http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1134130 Bug ID: 1134130 Summary: "/boot" cannot be part of a thinly provisioned logical volume Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: nwr10cst-oslnx@yahoo.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build Identifier: The summary is my tentative diagnosis, which could be wrong. I attempted an install of Tumbleweed 20190502, using an LVM with thin provisioning (for "/" and "/home"). This was mainly an experiment for my own learning experience. Everything seemed to go fine until installing the boot loader. And then there were several errors. And, after install, the system would not boot. It looks as if "grub2" cannot hand a thinly provisioned volume. I repeated the install, but on the second try I used a separate "/boot" partition. And everything went fine for that second install. My recommendation on how to deal with this: (1) document the problem in "release-notes". (2) close the bug as WONTFIX I'm not about to retry. But I suspect that the system would have booted if I had copied "grub.cfg" from "/boot/grub2/" to "/boot/efi/EFI/opensuse/".
