[opensuse-autoinstall] also partitioning

Hello, I installed yesterday a machine with existing partitioning. It was 32-bit system with opensuse 11.2. What happened was that the installation in the second stage (after boot) stopped in filesystemcheck on /var. A closer look showed that this partitition had somehow changed. It had size zero (ending at the same cylinder as it started). I could fix manually with fdisk that just putting a logical partition of maximal size in extended partition as it was formerly. The data generated during of stage 1 of installation reappeared and I could continue. The scheme I applied was: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext4</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> 1 </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <mount>swap</mount> 2 </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <mount>/temp</mount> 3 </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext4</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/var</mount> 5 </partition> </partitions> </drive> </partitioning> Greetings, David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
