Sector sized told you that? The optimal table is not equal to user need "YaST does not delete the partition table automatically since we assume you have a reason to use unsuited partition table." So on one side, you assume what user needs just by sector size, on the other hand you don't give even a hint for user or ask a user if she/he really wants to keep the current table b) of course I was curious what will happen, so I created table with partitioner as well -- but in my case, it didn't work --> reopening Please, instead all those hoops, allow user to create disk table according to user CHOICE (because, plain and simply, current approach does not work for ALL of us). -- 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.

From the logs everything looks ok. One the 15th of April you did (or at least started to do) these things:

14:10 Create a partiton on sdd. Since sdd has an MSDOS partition table the possible size was 2TB. The function getUnusedPartitionSlots returns: ep-hd-lib.ycp:179 ret $[`extended:[[0, 267350]], `primary:[[0, 267350]]] So you can either create a primary or an extended partition with 267350 cylinders. 14:19 Create a partition table on sdd. Since sdd is 3TB big YaST did choose GPT. 14:19 Create a partiton on sdd. Now the possible size is about 3TB. The function getUnusedPartitionSlots returns: ep-hd-lib.ycp:179 ret $[`primary:[[0, 364801]]] So now you can either only create a primary partition with 364801 cylinders. I cannot see anything wrong here. -- 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 strictly seen this bug is INVALID. Concerning b): It "works for me" and I have the final word. -- 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.
