I just found out it's possible, when using "fixed size", giving no size, and type in the partition number. I think this is not self explaining. I'd expect another radio button, e.g. reuse partition. I did not read the explanation on the left side. So the explanation should be changed, too. Perhaps use the headlines: Reuse Partitions Setup LVM I agree, a new button would be an enhancement. Please consider "beautifying" the description in 10.1. fixed for SP1 and 10.2 |
In autoinstallation GUI the possibility is missing to just reuse a partition without repartioning. In other words: There is no way to just use existing partitions and either just mount it or format and mount it. The xml snippet that should be created is something like: <partition> <mount>swap</mount> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <partition_nr config:type="integer">5</partition_nr> </partition> The interesting line is the one with "create".
