[Bug 49178] Re: Installer crashed (xfs related?)

2006-06-19 Thread Colin Watson
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 47848 *** Thanks for your report. Due to some reliability problems with GRUB and XFS, you need to use a non-XFS root filesystem or create a non-XFS /boot filesystem. Bug 47848 is filed to note that the partitioner should warn you about this up-front. Phil:

GeorgeAmbrose: I'm afraid you're talking of an another bug. In my case, the installer crashed when installing the boot loader on an XFS partition, and the partitions layout did not contained a /var (only a swap and a root, all previously formated) -- Installer crashed (xfs related?)

I've experienced this crash, with the same traceback, when I tried to use xfs for / and /home partitions. I haven't tried it with a different filesystem setting, because something went wrong with the Windows installation on that system after the crashed install, and recovering that is currently

I have filed mine seperately as #49764. However I believe it has probably been filed by someone else before me (couldn't find it on searching just now). I know because I did get the idea to format all *system* partitions from another posting on launchpad. GeorgeAm -- Installer crashed (xfs

In my case xfs and ntfs had nothing to do with the bug. It had everything to do with trying to use an old /var partition. For some reason the installer only wants to work on cleanly formatted system partitions like '/', and '/var'. In my case I was trying to reuse an old '/var' (which had

BTW I got the idea that this might work from a comment online (found with google) by the author of Ubiquity. To give credit where it is due. He said something like he should make it warn the user rather than crash or something like that. -- Installer crashed (xfs related?)
