http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=957050 Bug ID: 957050 Summary: Installer fails to select logical volume as root partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: novell2@wired-brain.de QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 657609 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=657609&action=edit yast installer logs The system were I try to install Leap 42.1 has 3 disk with encrypted lvm partitions on it. I want to install into an empty logical volume os_leap in the volume group sda2-vg. The enrypted lvms are all opened sucessfully. However, the installer does not allow editing the mount point for the logical volume, saying it is in use. Executing # lvchange -an sda2-vg does not help. What is interesting is the i can edit the mount point of the logical volume in the volume group external (sdc1). Probably next bug: Deleting the logical volume os_leap results in the installer deleting the whole volume group. Now I managed to trick the installer into using os_leap as / by using the "Import Mountpoints" utility. Why is this possible? I cannot change the mount point myself. When executing the install the installer fails, but this may be due to these bugs. All yast logs are attached. I can repeat the process if that is required. I know that i would not be able to boot into this installation but I refrained from formating sda1 where the boot loader of my old installation is located until I tested the new install. Note that this install was run without any network connection. Could the installer potentially update itself when internet is available? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
