https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227913 ccoffing@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |FIXED ------- Comment #5 from ccoffing@novell.com 2007-01-29 15:25 MST ------- The original bug is actually a usage error. The disk line in the original description gives two (virtual) partitions to the VM. The guest Linux kernel fakes a partition table in memory, to "adopt" these virtual partitions. However, there is no physical device to write a partition table to! So of course YaST can't let you partition anything. If the disk line were instead: disk = [ 'phy:/dev/system/vm1-root,sda,w', 'phy:/dev/system/vm1-swap,sdb,w' ] then YaST would let you partition them. Or with the new device names, that would be: disk = [ 'phy:/dev/system/vm1-root,xvda,w', 'phy:/dev/system/vm1-swap,xvdb,w' ] Note: disks are now (starting in SLES 10 SP1) always given to PV SLES as type xvdX rather than sdX or hdX. The YaST partitioner recognizes these. Also, the new tool doesn't let you specify a virtual partition to give to the VM; you can only give entire virtual devices to the VM. This helps avoid these sorts of usage errors. -- 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.
