With SLES11 SP2, it isn't working anymore, Yast stops with error "Error while configuring partitions". By comparing the logs between SLES11 SP1 and SLES11 SP2, it seems that module Partitions found 0 MaxPrimary partitions in SLES11 SP2 (it finds 4 MaxPrimary partitions with SLES11 SP1). By looking at the code, we can see that SLES11 SP1 was never returning 0 MaxPrimary partitions. The same problem seems to exist in latest trunk of autoyast in Opensuse. It is a very special partitioning scheme, as there is no real disk, only partitions, but it is very handy in virtual environment to work directly with partitions without using disk. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure an autoyast xml to use 2 partitions : <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/xvda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">true</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <mountby config:type="symbol">device</mountby> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>max</size> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">true</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <mountby config:type="symbol">device</mountby> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> 2. Launch an autoyast installation of a domU in Xen environment with 2 LVM as partitions (xvda1 as root and xvda2 as swap) : disk=[ 'phy:/dev/xenvg/test-root,xvda1,w', 'phy:/dev/xenvg/test-swap,xvda2,w' ] Actual Results: Yast reports an error "Error while configuring partitions" Expected Results: Yast should format /dev/xvda1 with ext3 and use it as root and format /dev/xvda2 as swap and use it as swap. It works as expected with the patch attached. -- 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.
