Re: [opensuse-announce] SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta5: Delta ISOs available, rest tomorrow
* The partitioner is broken in some cases Bug 151947. which might result in: o mixed up filesystem types - for example one chooses ext2 and the partition is getting formatted with reiserfs o creates double or totally obscure entries within the fstab of the system o makes inproper proposals for a standard partitioning
This presumably won't affect existing partitions that are not formatted? I have /home on a separate partition with an encrypted [twofish256] ext3 FS and /usr/src/packages on a non-encrypted, ext3 formatted partition.
