I'm setting up multiboot system for testing;
What specs?
qemu-kvm :)
I installed Windows, Fedora and am installing current Factory. This has three HDD with each system on separate disk. Two disks are used, one is empty.
How old is the BIOS?
Ask qemu maintainer :)
I was a bit surprised to see default suggestion to remove existing Fedora
install.
Are we on war with Fedora or what? :)
Is Fedora using 5GB on LVM taking up a whole 500GB HD?
Yes, Fedora is using full 5GB disk. And how is it relevant? There is third empty disk for openSUSE to install.
Third disk is completely empty and avaiable. So there was really no reason to offer to remove anything.
Just wonder if this is intentional or should be considered a bug?
Hello, For info --Glenn From[1] [1]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning There are 3 types of disk partitions: Primary Extended Logical Primary partitions can be bootable and are limited to four partitions per disk or RAID volume. If a partitioning scheme requires more than four partitions, an extended partition containing logical partitions is used. Extended partitions can be thought of as containers for logical partitions. A hard disk can contain no more than one extended partition. The extended partition is also counted as a primary partition so if the disk has an extended partition, only three additional primary partitions are possible (i.e. three primary partitions and one extended partition). The number of logical partitions residing in an extended partition is unlimited. A system that dual boots with Windows will require that Windows reside in a primary partition. The customary numbering scheme is to create primary partitions sda1 through sda3 followed by an extended partition sda4. The logical partitions on sda4 are numbered sda5, sda6, etc. This is an example of dual boot setup # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 64.0 GB, 64023257088 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7783 cylinders, total 125045424 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xcc791374 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 63 41046074 20523006 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 * 41048064 61528063 10240000 83 Linux /dev/sda3 61528950 120119295 29295173 83 Linux /dev/sda4 120119296 125044735 2462720 82 Linux swap / Solaris Disk /dev/sdb: 750.2 GB, 750155462656 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders, total 1465147388 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x1a200865 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 2048 1465145343 732571648 83 Linux -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
