Description Andrew Overholt 2006-03-10 15:02:25 UTC

Description of problem:
I somehow had an entry in /etc/fstab for /dev/sda2 -> /media/ipod and when I
tried to upgrade from FC4 -> FC5test3, the installation process exited because
/dev/sda2 didn't exist.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC5test3 anaconda

How reproducible:
Always (?)
  
Actual results:
Installation exited.

Expected results:
Installation does not exit.

What exactly was the line in /etc/fstab?

You really probably also want something like noauto in the options.

We'll try to clean up this handling some for FC6

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2006-05-22 18:26:35 UTC

Chris -- note the trickiness in that someone could have, eg, /usr not show up
and we really don't want to do the upgrade then.  Which is why we've kept to the
behavior we currently have.

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2006-06-08 15:26:46 UTC

We should be doing a better job with this in FC6.  It should now catch error on
non-Linux filesystems and display a warning dialog.  You can then choose to
ignore the warning and upgrade without mounting, or reboot.
