ennael1, tmb Booting after install, diskdrake see there is a unused (not mounted) swap in the lvm. I click mount, and done (or finish whatever button is in english) But it is still not registered in fstab. Looking in diskdrake again i see it shpws as green (=swap) but have no mount point. So I remove it, reboot and create it again in same place This time it got a mount point I clicked Finish and diskdrake popped up a dialog it need be formatted before it can be used. I confirmed - and diskdrake exited!! That is probably a separate bug ? ( it should NOT exit, but give user a chance to do what it suggested! ) firing up diskdrake again i see the swap partition is now marked red instead of green. Clicking format anyway, it for formatted ext4. Doh. Switched to expert mode, set type = Linux swap, clicked format, then mount and it displayed as formatted and mounted (in text at left), and exited diskdrake. Swap still do not show up in fstab... diskdrake again, yes it do not list mount point. diskdrake normally list a mount point "swap" for working swap partition at left together with the other info. Problem is i can not set one there even in expert mode as there is not such a button for swap. Ah well, remove it again, make new and it segfaults when i click OK. Force it down, start diskdrake again, remove the partition (now marked red) reboot again, create swap, format, *) mount, exit (and it asks to save fstab changes: yes). *) this last time, the button mount was not visible until after i formatted, good. Strange it was visible before formatting in the earlier tries, but that is probably a side effect of something going wrong earlier. Finally. Quirky! (still) Whiteboard:

MGA5TOO FOR_ERRATA _To be checked_ Same as in descripion above for other types of filesystem: If installer and diskdrake can remove and add a partition of same name in LVM in the same session.

Created attachment 6739 [details] report.bug.tar.gz lvcreate failed (i remember reporting something similar a couple yeras before but did not find it now sorry) DrakX v16.104 Reinstall = fresh install reusing existing partitions (wrecked old cauldron) Mechanical hard disk, dual boot system. dual boot Microsoft W7 / Mageia Partitions: thre ntfs partitions; MS W7 boot, C:, E: Then in extended partition a lvm vg and ext4 /boot I did not touch the ntfs partitions. the /ext 4 partition i selected for mount /boot Then in the lvm i assigned existing /home, and / There were two swap partitions in lvm since earlier install. I deleted both, and then i wanted to create a new swap, but it just sat there very long time. changed to other vt and back but it did not update the graphical screen for minutes. i ran bug, opened the file on this other computer and saw this part: * looking for vgs in sda6 * running: lvm2 vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Interrupted...

I choose to continue, it warns about i do not have a swap, i will fix it later. And update here if i find something interesting.
