One of the partitions defined is the partition I use for install images / install software. The partitioner defined this partition. This read-in partition definition cannot be edited or deleted as the partitioner says the partition is in use. Install then crashes as the partition is already mounted (as it's the installation source). The partition is defined as non-auto-mount & mount-RO. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a partition on the hard disk as install source 2. Install over existing Linux installation 3. Read existing partition definitions in partitioner CRASH! Actual Results: Partitioner crashes as partition is already mounted (as install source) Expected Results: Partitioner should either ignore this partition definition when reading in the table, or should not mount it (or both). Partitioner should warn of the conflict & the action. There is no workaround apart from manual setup of the partitions, which can be slow and error prone if there are a lot of them, -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
