I'm seeking b175 putback approval and two code reviewers for:
http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=7090232 GUI installer does not create rpool on whole partition if previous slices exists in partition Webrev: https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/dermot/7090232/ Details: This is an oversight in gui-install: in certain cases if there's an existing Solaris partition, and it contains slices, gui-install/ TargetController do not wipe those slices and lay down our own preferred layout (TextInstall does this explicitly). If the user makes any changes to the Solaris partition (type, size) the child slice details are lost and gui-install notices this and re-instates slice 0 at validation time. This fix takes advantage of this by always wiping the slices and creating slice 0 at validation time. This results in a consistent layout after validation, regardless of whether: - the partition has an existing slice layout - TargetController created a slice layout - the slice layout has previously been removed Testing done: Used format to create an "unfavorable" slice layout on the Solaris2 partition of the target disk. Ran gui-install. Before fix: if no changes are made to the partition, the old slice layout is retained. After fix: regardless of whether changes are made, the correct slice 0 layout is imposed. - Dermot _______________________________________________ caiman-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss
