Parted and the kernel use partition number 1 for the partition table itself and start the first "real" partition with partition number 2. EVMS suppresses the partition table and starts the first "real" partition with 1. So if YaST2 tells EVMS to use sda3 for the EVMS container this fails since EVMS does not know a partition with number 3 but knows this partition as sda2. This problem will also severly confuse users using evmsgui since the partition numbers there will not match the partition numbers used by kernel and parted. To fix that I would suggest to change EVMS plugin for mac disk label so that it uses partition number 2 as the first "real" partition and so there is consistency in partition numbering used by EVMS, parted and linux kernel as is the case for all other disk labels. Reassigning to Changju as maintainer of EVMS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
