Bug 585027 - partition type 0xbf considered as swap blkid says, "I don't care about partition IDs. I just care about 'actual' contents. If there are 10 bytes 'SWAPSPACE2' in a certain place, then by golly that's what it is, regardless of anything else." anaconda believes what blkid says, even though partition type 0xbf is a more-global typing which indicates "OpenSolaris-and-not-swap". Anaconda should believe this more-global typing first. blkid is unreliable because blkid does not consider that OpenSolaris has do-not-care areas within partition type 0xbf. [The suggested workaround wipefs is dangerous because the documentation does not say exactly what is changed and what is not changed. Applying wipefs after having installed OpenSolaris might be a disaster.] -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
