Description Forgotten User 1uy6v4ezPI 2015-11-29 13:40:02 UTC
The system were I try to install Leap 42.1 has 3 disk with encrypted
lvm partitions on it. I want to install into an empty logical volume os_leap
in the volume group sda2-vg. The enrypted lvms are all opened sucessfully. However, the installer does not allow editing
the mount point for the logical volume, saying it is in use.
Executing
# lvchange -an sda2-vg
does not help.

What is interesting is the i can edit the mount point of the logical volume
in the volume group external (sdc1).

Probably next bug:
Deleting the logical volume os_leap results in the installer deleting the
whole volume group.

Now I managed to trick the installer into using os_leap as / by using the
"Import Mountpoints" utility. Why is this possible? I cannot change the
mount point myself.

When executing the install the installer fails, but this may be due to these
bugs. All yast logs are attached. I can repeat the process if that is required.

I know that i would not be able to boot into this installation but I refrained
from formating sda1 where the boot loader of my old installation is located
until I tested the new install.

Note that this install was run without any network connection. Could the installer potentially update itself when internet is available?
