This is sometimes required since parted can fail to inform the kernel about changes to the partition table. Apparently the partition is unknown to the kernel so YaST calls delpart and addpart. After that the partition is known to the kernel but the start and end values are multiplied by 512.

From the logs:

/usr/sbin/addpart '/dev/md126' 5 768 144000 addpart failed sysfsBlkRegion:[393216,73728000] (YaST logs this since the values mismatch) 259 1 36864000 md126p5 (/proc/partitions) You can see that the values we read from sysfs are 512 times the values passed to addpart. The sizes in /proc/partitions are also to large (and much larger than the disk). To the customer: The problem should not occur if the disk is already partitioned during installation and you only format and assign mount points. You could either partition from the rescue system or restart the installation after the failure. -- 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.

Butz 2011-07-26 15:59:36 UTC --- I did as recommended and restarted the installation until every partition was formatted and the mount points were assigned properly. Everything seemed fine till YaST started the system new: hang up again. -- 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.
