[opensuse] SuSE 10.3 won't upgrade when using LVM
I am trying to upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 and 10.3 does not seem to know the file system formats when using LVM. I have / and /boot on an ext3 partition and /usr, /var, swap, etc on LVM partitions. When I boot off the 10.3 DVD and pick upgrade, it has no idea which filesystems to upgrade. Any way around this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are all of the usual directories in / all on different LVs? Incl. /etc, /bin and /sbin? I had no problem doing the upgrade, but I have /etc, bin and /sbin in the root partition itself, not on LV. Otherwise, my /var and /usr are on LVs. I guess, the installer does not mount the filesystems, so it can not find /etc, /bin and /sbin. A workaround will be to copy these partitions into directories of /, and then retry. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
