Description Forgotten User mbQyAD5r4K 2006-03-03 10:32:31 UTC

For my test installation I have burned just the CD1 onto the real media and wanted to continue with CD2 right from the ISO image on one of the existing partitions. So far so good - CD1 installed correctly, installer prompted me to swap the media, and offered me "cd:///;dev=/dev/hdb" (more less, I don't recall the exact URL for CD). 

At this stage *I wish* I could enter something like "iso://suse-iso/cd2.iso;dev=/dev/hdb4" but I can't, never mind. Anyway I loopback-mounted the ISO to /tmp/cd2 and used this as the URL. No luck. Tried "file:///tmp/cd2". No luck. Tried to sneak in the loopback device itself (/dev/loop0) as the CDROM device. No luck. The only way that finally worked was replacing the device node /dev/hdb with a duplicate of /dev/loop0. Then it all installed fine. 

The installer simply ignored any changes into the URL and insisted on installing from /dev/hdb. I understand this functionality won't be required by the majority of users but still, the URL dialog is there and should work...

Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-03-03 11:26:17 UTC

It should.
Please attach the y2logs of this installation (/var/log/YaST2).

Comment 2 Michael Gross 2006-03-09 11:21:32 UTC

Please reopen this bug once you can provide the information. Also consider testing this with Beta7 again.

Comment 3 Forgotten User mbQyAD5r4K 2006-03-11 12:39:48 UTC

All right, tested once again with CD2 loopback-mounted in /tmp/m2. Entering "/tmp/m2" into the URL dialog failed. Entering "file:///tmp/m2/" worked. This is not too intuitive :-/
Will post y2log in a minute...

I haven't played the above described game with hdb/loop0 device nodes again. This is for /tmp/m2 vs file:///tmp/m2/

source handling -> stano

Looks like the URL is not redirected properly.

This message does not only appear when using file:// - I had it with a NFS installation also. See bug 155281 for details and y2logs.

Comment 8 Gerald Pfeifer 2006-04-28 23:42:23 UTC

Michal, can you still reproduce this with the latest RC available?

Comment 9 Forgotten User mbQyAD5r4K 2006-05-01 02:25:24 UTC

Hi Gerald, 

in RC3 the behaviour is still the same as per comment #3, i.e. it _is_ somehow possible to set a different installation source for CD2-5 but the syntax is pretty user unfriendly and unlikely to be successfully guessed (at least for localy loop-mounted ISOs). My wish for the iso://... URL still remains.

Comment 10 Klaus Kämpf 2006-05-01 08:47:24 UTC

Any proposals how to express different kinds of mountable media (nfs, hd, dir, file, cifs, smb) together with iso:// ?

Marius had good reasons to design the iso url as it is.

Comment 11 Forgotten User mbQyAD5r4K 2006-05-01 10:20:08 UTC

How about iso://<path_on_the_filesystem>?dev=<url_of_the_filesystem>
E.g. iso:///suse-iso/dvd.iso?dev=/dev/hdb4 or ?dev=nfs://server/share etc.

Comment 12 Marius Tomaschewski 2006-05-01 10:39:26 UTC

In zypp MediaManager, you can use just:

iso:/?iso=/path/to/CD1.iso

for local iso files, or also the longer/generic format:

iso:/?iso=CD1.iso&url=dir:/path/to

The last one also allows other sources for the iso in the url
parameter: dir (file), hd, nfs, cifs (smb). For example:

iso:/?iso=CD1.iso&url=nfs://server/path/to
iso:/?iso=CD1.iso&url=hd:/?device=/dev/hda

as well as

iso:/?iso=CD1.iso&url=hd:/subdir/on/hdd?device=/dev/hda

See also doxygen documentation of the MediaManager, that
documents all supported media url schemes.

Comment 15 Marius Tomaschewski 2006-05-12 08:21:08 UTC

Closing it - when using correct parameters in iso:/// urls, it works fine.
