[opensuse-factory] Beta3 and root filesystem
Funny thing happened when I installed 11.0 Beta 3 onto my PC. When installing new version of Linux, I format my partitions (swap, boot and root). For Beta 3 installation, I told to use my partitions instead of making own. It installed ok, with some problems I thought were because of Beta 3. For example, when pressing $ and ~ keys I did not get characters. Well, on Thursday I thought to take backups. I use xfs on root partition, and use xfsdump for backup. However, it told / is not filesystem. I typed "xf", and there was no / filesystem! Today I reinstalled Beta 3 and found out that the installation has "do not mount filesystem" as default. I made it mount the / and now my keyboard works! So, where was my / directory on the previous try, and why did the installation not warn about missing root ? -- Arto Viitanen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
