Description Chris Runge 2001-07-17 12:19:56 UTC
Beta 2 (Fairfax)

Description of Problem:

Stray "1"s are being appended to partitioned labels.

How Reproducible:

Behavior varies from install to install. The "1" gets appended to different
labels.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. NFS install on a laptop
2. Select Laptop installation option
3. Select auto-partitioning

Actual Results:

One time the /boot partition had the label /boot1
Another time the /boot partition had the label /boot, but the / partition
had the label /1

Expected Results:

no appended "1"s

Additional Information:

Known issue.

Comment 2 Matt Wilson 2001-07-19 20:13:12 UTC
they're not stray, they get appeneded when a label of that name already exists.
 There was a bug that would see the existing / label on a partition that was
going to be formatted, so the label got set to /1.  next install it would be /
again.  This is fixed.
