Description Silviu Marin-Caea 2008-05-21 05:32:46 UTC

I have a simple disk structure:
1 SATA disk: 1 utilitity partition, 1 windows partition, 1 Linux swap, 1 Linux.  All these are primary.

I always reinstall fresh all alpha/betas this way: erase everything on the Linux partition except /home which I rename.  Then I set its mount point as /.

Up until the LiveCD method of installation, the system that results would have the existing swap in /etc/fstab.  With the LiveCD installer, this does not happen.

Comment 1 Silviu Marin-Caea 2008-05-21 05:40:13 UTC

Not only that, but the root partition itself is not written to /etc/fstab.  This result in it not being properly unmounted at shutdown.  The filesystem always replays a lot of transactions at boot.

I'm increasing severity.

Jiri, this sounds really, really ugly.

Comment 5 Arvin Schnell 2008-05-21 10:03:39 UTC

It's a duplicate of #389099. But maybe someone should test with beta 3+.
