Problems with mountyby

Im looking to mount partitions by label on a reinstall with set to false. But the below configuration fails with ‘Error while configuring partitions. Try again.’. The logs don’t show anything either. Is there a way I can mountby label in the post-partition or post section to get this working?

/dev/sda false false true / 131 ext3 label primary false true /var 131 ext3 label false true swap 130 swap label

Hi cyberaishu,

I’m in no position to try this out myself right now, but did you try to deduct if autoyast is able to read out the partition label (these partitions do already have labels, right?)? You could set the label in the XML explicitly (of course using the value of the existing partitions) - if this works, then autoyast simply does not read out the label for existing partitions and you might ask engineering for such a feature (or if they see a different, working way to specify this).

Regards,
J
