Bug#305137: debian-installer: partitioning/mount options minor quirks
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
APT prefers testing
APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: i386 (k7)
Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-k7 / 2.6.8-2-k7
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)
(This affected my machine at home, but I'm typing this at work...)
During d-i (using netboot image and mirror about 10 days old), when
assigning existing partitions ot mount points, I noticed
- that "FAT32" would appear twice in the list (order FAT32 FAT16 FAT32)
- that the detected type of partitions would not be pre-selected
(which can cause destruction)
- that mount options given in the partitioning process would not be
obeyed for installation (in particular, I selected one old
RH partition to be mounted ro,nodev,noatime and found it to
be mounted rw)
/etc/fstab entries were right (except that I don't want VFAT partitions
to be checked at all, so I had to re-set the flag from 2 to 0)
Otherwise, d-i worked very nicely (I used expert26). Thanks for the
great work!
Cheers,
Steffen Grunewald
