Description Martin Schröder 2007-05-05 14:09:29 UTC
Having additional mount points under an LVM mount point (e.g. with bind) confuses the LVM module of Yast: It shows the last mount point in fstab as mount point for the volume.

E.g. with the attached fstab Yast thinks that /dev/system/space is mounted at /space/home/ms/Documents

Comment 6 Thomas Fehr 2007-05-14 15:21:03 UTC
Problem should be fixed in Alpha#4 of opensuse 10.3
Comment 7 Martin Schröder 2007-05-19 14:42:49 UTC
Is this just a display problem or will Yast do anything wrong if I simply ignore the problem and use Yast to resize the volume? It should still use the right uuid...
Comment 8 Thomas Fehr 2007-05-21 09:36:07 UTC
Deepending on filesystem type YaST2 will try to umount a mounted device
before resizing, this will be a problem when YaST2 does not know the correct
mount point. If you use ext3, xfs or reiserfs and increase the size of the volume,
you should not have a problem since these filesystems can be resized while
mounted.
