[mckinstry@computer.org: Bug#186290: di-utils-mount-partitions: Don't present parent dirs to be umounted]



Hello all,

based on the attached bug report, I think it's time to inform you about
the existence of two new tools for the debian-installer which replace
most of the packages from the di-utilities.

	tools/partitioner	allow the disk partitioning
	tools/partconf		Handle the whole mk(fs|swap)/(u)mount/... process

These two packages make the di-utils outdated. So, please test these two
packages and report bug against.

The old di-utils are currently stay in the archive, because both tools
above need a lot more feature enhancments. And you can use it, as long
as the other udebs doesn't work correctly.
If the d-i is a little bit more stabled they will removed.


Thanks
Thorsten

Package: di-utils-mount-partitions
Version: 0.19 (not installed)
Severity: normal


If offering partitions to be umounted, ensure that either
- (1) child partitions are umounted too, or
  (2) parents aren't offered.
 
e.g. if / and /boot are mounted, either umounting / also umounts /boot
(possibly giving warning), or / shouldn't be offered until /boot
umounted.

I'd recommend the first.
