[Bug 365688] New: Yast avoids to install/ upgrade xen systems that used virtual partitions
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=365688 Summary: Yast avoids to install/upgrade xen systems that used virtual partitions Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: luizluca@tre-sc.gov.br QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Hello, I used LVM Logical volumes in dom0 as virtual partition on Xen. It works correctly but I'm not able to install nor upgrade systems configured that way. It's a Yast problem. The Xen virtual machine conf is: name="test" ostype="opensuse" uuid="4fd5e057-d519-16ef-e809-87b0f2f9d94b" memory=1024 vcpus=1 on_crash="destroy" on_poweroff="destroy" on_reboot="restart" localtime=0 builder="linux" bootloader="/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py" bootargs="--entry=:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen" extra="root=/dev/xvda1" disk=[ 'phy:/dev/system/test_root,xvda1,w', 'phy:/dev/system/test_srv,xvda2,w', ] vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:0d:a3:45', ] vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1'] in domU, I got: # ls /dev/xvda* -l brw-r----- 1 root disk 202, 1 2008-02-27 16:49 /dev/xvda1 brw-r----- 1 root disk 202, 2 2008-02-27 16:49 /dev/xvda2 There is no xvda device on domU. I'm able to load installer but yast2-storage does not accept the virtual partitions without a disk device. The "yast disk" interface shows just the last device, xvda2, no mount-point and does not accept any changes on it. Maybe considering xvda[0-9]+ devices the same way as DM or EVMS devices could do the trick. Without that, I can't upgrade from opensuse 10.2 systems. -- 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 really don't thing that this is bug is duplicated. Bug 365688 is related to Yast problem with virtual partitions on installation and upgrade and Bug 343724 is xen/domUloader.py problem with the same case.
Yes, you are correct. Sorry for duplicating them.
Bug 365688 is a problem with yast-storage that does not considered the case when there is just the "partitions" without a disk
Right. Reassigning this bug to YaST2.
Bug 343724 occurs because xen does not pass the root device to domUloader.py as its last parameter.
Yep - Xen team will keep that bug. -- 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.
