Public bug reported: [Impact]
* DASD drives have two types ECKD and FBA. * ECKD have been made to use dasd partition table by default, however can be used with msdos partition table * FBA devices use msdos partition table by default * Both types of drives can only hold 3 partitions * However parted/partman default to using logical partitions with default installation recipe, thus exploading instalations. [Test Case] * Start the installer, activate ECKD and/or FBA devices * In case of ECKD choose to use msdos partition table (label) * The installer should only create primary partitions, and not offer to create logical partitions in any way ** Affects: partman-base (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) Status: Triaged ** Affects: partman-base (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: High Assignee: Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) Status: Triaged ** Also affects: partman-base (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595495 Title: DASD drives can only hold 3 partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/1595495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
