[Bug 760213] New: YaST2 backup saves the wrong partition tables
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760213 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=760213#c0 Summary: YaST2 backup saves the wrong partition tables Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: yanestra@arcor.de QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0 I have a system with two internal hard disks. YaST2 backs up the partition table of the first one, skipping the second one (which is only referred to by an encrypted swap partition and an LVM container - that means: it's nowhere mentioned in /etc/fstab or /proc/mounts). In replacement, YaST2 writes several partition tables of external hard disks, which is of no use.

From the log I can see that the disk that is named /dev/sdb during installation gets named /dev/sde after first reboot. Since the device name used in /etc/cryptotab is /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD10EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WMAZ20392365-part1all is still working fine but it is confusing that the name if the dm table used for encryption is "cr_sdb1". I use this name intentionally since normally it should point users to the

but it is confusing that the name if the dm table used for encryption is "cr_sdb1". I use this name intentionally since normally it should point users to the the partition that is used by the dm map. [...] So I would prefer to stay with the current naming scheme for crypto dm maps.
What about using the mountpoint? I changed the name to cr_home (for /home) on my system. The only argument against making it the general scheme is that a devide name like cr_home_cb_documents_secret would look quite ugly ;-) -- 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.
