[Bug 853069] New: Installer does not recognize LVM partitions
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853069 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853069#c0 Summary: Installer does not recognize LVM partitions Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Upgrade Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 For comparison. Computer A -- no LVM, encrypted ext4 partition, installer recognizes it. Computer B -- LVM, encrypted ext4 partitions on it, installer recognizes just existence of LVM, but not its partitions. Here is the real list (see the attachment). sda2, sdb1, sdc1 -- it is OK to be not recognized, because I didn't give password for those, so installer SHOULD see them as generic ones. sdd1 -- this is surprise, it is just /boot partition, no LVM, not encrypted, and only thing installer can say it is ext2 (it is correct). sda1 -- this is where LVM sits, why it is not recognized? and 2 LVM partitions -- correct names, but as you can see in the first column, not recognized at all. I don't care about /home, because it won't be upgraded, but /root partition is about to upgraded, so it has to be recognized I stopped upgrade at this point. Major: because it stops system from being upgraded (11.4 -> 13.1). Btw. is there anything I can do, to correct those errors, and proceed with upgrade?

NOTE: LVM here is crucial issue, but the boot partition (located on external drive) was not recognized correctly as well. -- 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.

Is that possible yast2 is using pvscan to detect the partition, but can not get a any output from pvscan. -- 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.
