[Bug 730095] New: Partitioner does not correctly clear up a USB used for install medium
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730095 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730095#c0 Summary: Partitioner does not correctly clear up a USB used for install medium Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: HP OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: roger.luedecke@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 After using a USB flash drive to Install I will run the partitioner on it once I am done to clean it up and give it a usable partition table. The host machine and others running Linux will see the drive complete with readable files as unchanged, though (if I recall perfectly) Windows7 and MacOSX read the drive as I intended it to be. Ultimately I have to use my Macintosh disk-utility to get the drive back in to pristine form. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.dd installation medium 2.create new partition table in Expert Partitioner 3.plug drive back in to any Linux machine and it will still mount as the install medium Expected Results: Should have been recovered clean as the day it was manufactured. This problem was present in 11.4 as well, and perhaps 11.3. -- 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.

Mmh, that's some label, not sure where it's stored. -- 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.

The content of /etc/fstab could help to find out if that is the case. But this would not explain why Linux still sees the installation data after running dd on the device but Windows and MacOSX don't. -- 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.

If there is some info you may find helpful from me I am awaiting instruction. A note though, I'm not very good on the CLI and I only have voluminous knowledge on problems I encounter and had to solve. -- 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'll do some additional stuff. Any ideas? If nobody else can see it, I can scarcely imagine what the problem is. -- 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.
