Hi,
tanks for your help!!
now i understand the problem i little bit more. but i can see how the problem is
to solve.
what i want is only to keep the partition 7. all other partition I don't care
about - this mean, that partition 5 (swap) and 6 (/) can be use as they are -
they must not create only format. The following Config-File was working on SuSE
9.2, what goes wrong in SuSE 9.3 ?
<partitioning config:type="list">
<drive>
<device>/dev/hda</device>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<mount>swap</mount>
<create config:type="boolean">false</create>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>

the result is:
/dev/hda1 9.4 GB - Extended - 0 19586 /dev/hda7 4.0 GB - Linux nativ - 11172 19586 /dev/hda8 5.0 GB F Linux nativ / 0 10405 /dev/hda9 376.5 MB F Linux swap swap 10406 11171
nearly correct - only mount from partititon 7 to /data1 is missing. (this not realy a problem)
okay, I just talked to our Storage expert and this partitioning is not possible. What we see above is simply broken but autoyast expects it to be like that. So the reality and what autoyast thinks are no longer in sync. :(
"Die Partition /dev/hda8 konnte nicht formatiert werden. ..."
yes, that's what we expect, since there is no hda8 After deleting hda5 and hda6, the old hda7 is the new hda5 - we can't change that behaviour. Autoyast seems not to know that and just adds partitions at the end - that's a bug.
after aborted installation the partition are all destroyed!!!!
sorry, I hope you had a backup :) well, at the moment it looks like it's not possible to do what you want to do (keep logical partition nr.7 but delete partition 5 and 6). It would have been possible to delete the logical partition at the end but not some in between.
I will do heavy changes in the partitioning code in the near future together with the storage expert here at SUSE.
