Hi All, I have an issue with the Yast2 partitioner. There’s a prompting error: Probing device relationships failed. Unexpected situation found in the system. Click below to see more details (English only). Continue despite the issue?

Details: device not found, name:/dev/linear

See below a snipped shot of the issue:

@M_A_T Hi, so what is this device linear a remote mount of some description? A stray entry in /etc/fstab perhaps?

Hi @malcolmlewis1 that /dev/linear does not exist, even in /etc/fstab There’s no /dev/linear.

@M_A_T if you press ctl+alt+F1 to get to a tty, alt+ctl+F2 or F7 to get back to the installer, nothing seen in /dev/? All very strange indeed!

I just raised the concern to the SUSE Team and am currently waiting for the solution to this bug in SLE 15 SP4.

Just fixed by patching using the .rpm files sent by the SUSE team.
