This bug is reproducible and was reproduced 4 times, twice on Ubuntu and twice on Debian Etch. Steps to reproduce: - Have an old home partition from some previous (in this case Mandrake) instalation in Reiserfs format 3.6 with standard Journal ready on /dev/hdb8 - Check fstab /dev/hdb and it should have a line like this: /dev/hdb8 22116 24321 17G 83 Linux - Start new installation o Debian 4.0 Etch or Ubuntu - Choose manual partitioning. - Select another partition as installation root - Save partition selection - Review new changes. - NOW HERE IT COMES: THE /dev/hdb8 WILL BE LISTED AS SWAP PARTITION THAT WILL WAS FOUND AND WILL BE FORMATED. Bad joke, isn't it? - Switch to the text console to see what packages ran lately and you shall see: "Partman: PV /dev/hdb8" " kernel: ReiserFS: hdb8: found Reiserfs format 3.6 with Standard Journal"
Setup files: Partition table prior the problem on fstab /dev/hdb /dev/hdb8 22116 24321 17G 83 Linux This is correct. Swap partition would have type 82. ** Changed in: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Reiserfs is mounted as swap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
