On saturday, 07-Sep-2002, I've made test runs with RC1.

First, clean install of 8.2 and upgrade to 9.0 RC1.
Second, clean install of 9.0 RC1 from scratch.

My home machine info can be found here:
<http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/rc1/home_machine/>
machine.html describes hardware specs.

I've found several problems that I'm going to describe in separate mails
on this list.
-=======================-
Problem 5:
Entries in fstab deleted during upgrade

Full details, HTML version of this report here:
<http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/rc1/home_machine/problems/upgrade_deletes_entries_from_fstab/info.html>

-===========-


    Entries in fstab deleted during upgrade

After upgrade, those two entries that I had made manually, were deleted
from the fstab:

/dev/hdc5 /mnt/kieszen1 vfat
iocharset=iso8859-2,codepage=852,quiet,noauto,noexec,showexec 0 0
/dev/hdc6 /mnt/kieszen2 vfat
iocharset=iso8859-2,codepage=852,quiet,noauto,noexec,showexec 0 0
                

Those entries pertained to a device which was not present at the time of
upgrade - it's a removable hard drive.

You can see the original fstab here
<http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/rc1/home_machine/problems/upgrade_deletes_entries_from_fstab/fstab.mdkgiorig>
 


and the upgraded fstab ihere
<http://olo.office.altkom.com.pl/domowa/qa/mandrake/9.0/rc1/home_machine/problems/upgrade_deletes_entries_from_fstab/fstab>.
 




In my opinion, the installer shouldn't touch fstab entries it doesn't
intend to recreate.
