[Bug 727782] New: Installation shows only one of two possible partitions for update
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727782 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727782#c0 Summary: Installation shows only one of two possible partitions for update Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: zoz@suse.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- Before updating my 11.4 to 12.1 RC1 I duplicated (dd) my 11.4 system to another partition of the same size. That means that there are now to equal partitions with an installed 11.4 (sda6 and sda7). The dialog where I could choose one did show only sda6. Activating 'show all partitions' did then show also sda7. But I assume that this does not work as designed. -- 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.

But I will try to reproduce it with next RC. -- 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.

So unless you fixed the root entry in fstab on the copied system to contain the new device the behaviour seems correct. -- 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.

I did not change any files in the copied system. I was assuming that these files (fstab, menu.lst, ...) were rewritten then anyway. My idea was to keep my old system runnable and perform the update on a copy. I always keep my old system, also when installing from scratch. Modern disks are usually big enough. What I would like is a copy-on-update installation mode: Install a fresh system on another partition and take as much settings as possible from old system; at least package selection. Maybe I'm not up to date and we always provide something like that? I will change /etc/fstab in my next update and try again. I don't mind closing this bug report. -- 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.

Summarizing this bug seems invalid. -- 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.
