Re: d-i does not show jfs in partition tool

Well, in module selection step I choose, among others partman-jfs
for  formating my usb harddisk, but when I format one partition, JFS
does not  appears among options. If I choose partman-xfs for example
xfs appears  among these.

So it seems we have a bug or so?

We currently only offer ext2, ext3 and reiserfs in the installer on
ARM.  We don't offer XFS because there are (or were) problems with XFS
on ARM.  We don't offer JFS because so far nobody has expressed any
interest and because I've no idea if JFS works correctly on ARM.  If
you can verify that JFS works on ARM, I suppose we can add it as an
option.
Hi Martin,


It's a strange for me: I see "partman-jfs", "partman-reiserfs" and "partman-xfs" in selection modules step. If you currently don't offer these, why are these modules present? Perhaps an stupid question, but I don't see it.

And in partman, d-i provide me the option of formatting with xfs!?
But when I choose that, and d-i formats it, I receive the following error:

The attempt to mount a file system with type xfs in SCSI1 (0,0,0), │
│ partition #7 (sda) at /chrut failed. │
│ │
│ You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu. │
│ │
│ Do you want to resume partitioning? │
│ │
│ <Go Back> <Yes> <No>

I think it's not consequent.

I download armel version. ARM is armel?


I will do what Tobias suggest: put / (and all other partitions) with ext3/ext2 and then play for making jfs partition.

Xan.
