Bugzilla – Bug 106230
if partitioning/mount fails at install time, the installer continues when it shoudn't
Last modified: 2005-09-09 07:23:31 UTC
Basically, I had a filesystem (/home) that the installed said it could (and would) mount. All of the other filesystems (/boot, /usr, /var, etc...) were set to be formatted and mounted, etc... Everything proceeded fine until it tried to mount /home, which failed, possibly because my /home is JFS (please PLEASE support jfs). However, I could live without that for a bit, but what went wrong after that is bad. None of the other filesystems were mounted (/usr, /var, etc...) except for / and /boot. Installation attempted to proceed but ended up running out of disk space. Suggestions: a "Do you want to continue anyway?" box if an error occurs during partitioning/format/mount and b) do /not/ continue if one of the filesystems required (such as /usr or /var or /opt) was not able to be formatted/mounted/whatever.
I should note that this was a problem in beta1 and also (I think, I couldn't be 100% sure) in beta 2 of 10.0.
Please provide YaST2 log of the installation, see: http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST
fehr, arvin: are you able to do anything without logs, please?
The installer stops now when something fails during storage commit. And JFS is not supported.
