[Bug 214284] New: incorrect partitioning info
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214284 Summary: incorrect partitioning info Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: 32bit OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: yez@familieschepers.nl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Hello, Trying to install opensuse, the installation offers to install on /dev/hda5, but I want to install on /dev/hda6. So I choose "Create Custom Partition Setup". I choose 1.IDE (first HD) and after that I check the checkbox for /dev/hda6. This screen also shows me /dev/hda10 being "Linux swap", which is correct. When I now click Next, The "Installation Settings"-screen tells me it wants to delete /dev/hda6 and to "create root partition /dev/hda10 (4.8 GB) with reiserfs". My /dev/hda10 partition is 290Mb. This doesn't look right to me. Then, I choose to change again, but now I select "Custom Partitioning (for experts". Now, /dev/hda9 has become my swap partition and /dev/hda10 has become a 4.8Gb partition. My real partitioning is the following : [root@brink14 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 638 5124703+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 639 4865 33953377+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 * 639 1276 5124703+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 1277 1914 5124703+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 1915 2552 5124703+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 2553 3827 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hda9 3828 4828 8040501 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda10 4829 4865 297171 82 Linux swap / Solaris It looks like the error is that a 4.8Gb Linux partition is shifted to the end of the list. I could attach some screenshots, but I can't find how to attach files.

You don't need to use your camera. However, thanks for screenshots and logs. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214284 fehr@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |FIXED Fixed in Milestone|--- |Beta 2 ------- Comment #6 from fehr@novell.com 2006-10-24 04:41 MST ------- The behavior is not really wrong but pretty ugly. YaST2 decides to remove the selected partition hda6, this implicitely renames former hda7 to hda6, hda8 to hda7, hda9 to hda8, hda10 to hda9. Newly created partition is then hda10. If there were more than one partition selected there is no way around deleting the selected partitions and recreating new ones. For exactly one selected partition there is special code that should avoid removing and re-creating the partition. This special code was not executed. I fixed this now in SVN head fix will be on beta#2 maybe even in beta#1. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
