[opensuse] Installer of Leap 15 and LVM: installer asks for formatting /home?
When running install on an existing system with an LVM (ext4), when asking to departure from existing files systems and then saying "import" previous install, I get the correct volumes (included LVM after having given the password of course). But unlike previous versions of Leap, this one tries to format /home?? Fortunately I saw it in the last moment. Have there been changes to the encryption method used in Leap 15 for LVM (for which the installer deems necessary to format my data?) or is this a bug in the installer of Leap 15? _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postf�cher sicher & zentral an einem Ort.

I think this is a bug on the installer partitioner module. I tested the Beta, perhaps 4 of them, but this part was not yet coded (the module has been redone) and I could not test it at all. I heard one person say that all his partitions were set to format, which would have destroyed data. Me, none was going to be formatted ("/" should). This, if confirmed, is serious, and needs a red warning in the release notes. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

No, create a new bugzilla on 15.0, component release notes if it exist, if not documentation. Mention the existing bugzilla. I don't know if you can mark it urgent. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

How does something like this happen? New code that wasn't present in Beta finds it way into the release -- and then threatens to format your existing home partition? Doooah -- somebody really screwed the pooch with this one... If Carlos tested perhaps 4 of the Betas and there was no problem -- how is there a problem now? Wasn't the whole idea of ringed development and Q&A supposed to eliminate just this type of problem? -- David C.

I did not test all of the betas. This was a feature I needed, import fstab, but was not ready in the betas I tested. It must have appeared in the last weeks. Not everybody tests fresh install of all betas, many do zypper dups. Even me. Easier. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

The problem here, David, is that very few, if any, people do a *fresh* *install* of a newer Alpha/Beta, or even do a fresh install of the final release version; an Alpha version is installed at some point in time and after this 'zypper dup' is used on the many iterations of oS to finally end up with the official release version.

I intentionally did a few betas on my laptop. But I was hampered because the new partitioning code didn't have yet the feature to import partitions, which meant more work for me each time I installed fresh. When exactly it was added I did not notice, so I did not test this feature :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
