I have read the archives and cannot find a simular problem.
which SUSE version do you use?
I want to create an auto-install CD that uses all available space on the disk. I want to create these partitions: swap - 2GB / - 6GB /boot - 2GB /home - max(The rest of the drive) ... its a 36GB SCSI.
that's fine so far. I don't see a problem here.
After the install i do a "df -h" to get these values for my partition.
"after the install"? What does that mean in your terms? For me it's after the first boot but obviously for you it's somewhen during the installation process?
rootfs - 2.0G - / tmpfs - 2.0G - / /dev/loop0 - 155M - /mounts/instsys /dev/hdc - 340M - /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/....... /dev/sda2 - 773M - /mnt /dev/sda3 - 259M - /mnt/boot /dev/sda4 - 3.1G - /mnt/home
I noticed, however, that if before I boot from the CD, I run fdisk /dev/sda, and clear the partition table, THEN boot from the CD I get the partition sizes I want.
and if you don't do that, what sizes do you get then? the "df -h" does not tell us how big the partitions are.
Here is my partitioning section. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
I tried your profile on the 9.3 and it worked fine here (well, actually I had to change the sda to hda but I don't expect this to be a problem).
Is there a way to run fdisk and clear it out automatically before Yast probes the hard drives?
I did that once and I had to patch autoyast for that. You don't want that. What you want should be solvable without patching autoyast. I don't see anything special here. Maybe something is weird with the hardware? A special SCSI controller or something like that?
<partitioning config:type="list"> <drive>
...
</drive> </partitioning>
your profile works fine here on a 9.3 -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nürnberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
