Description Takashi Iwai 2006-02-24 11:47:44 UTC
YaST partitioner doesn't use the whole disk space even when "Use entire disk" is selected.  It uses only 90GB of 110GB disk (/dev/sda1 - home, sda2 - swap, sda3 - root).

The same bug existed in beta4 (#151818).

Yet another partitioner problem :/
Please attach the logfiles, resulting fstab and the output of `fdisk -l'. We will handle this seperately. Did anything else work correctly (correct fstab, all filesystems formatted correctly, ...)?
Comment 2 Takashi Iwai 2006-02-24 12:09:11 UTC
The system is not bootable because of another bug (libstorage?), marking /home as swap :-<  So, the status is almost same as beta4.

Anyway, I'm trying to resintall the system again.  The yast log (before starting installation) is attached below.

/dev/sda1            /home                swap       acl,user_xattr        0 0
/dev/sda2            swap                 swap       defaults              0 0

I suppose this is definitely incorrect - and this would explain your problem: /home was formatted as swap partition and this makes you believe there is missing space.

We'll handle this problem in #151947

Yes, the wrong fstab is a known problem.

But, the bug handled in this report is that the partitioner doesn't use the enter disk.  I guess it's a different problem.
