This bug is reproducible and was reproduced 4 times, twice on Ubuntu and twice
on Debian Etch.
Steps to reproduce:
- Have an old home partition from some previous (in this case Mandrake)
instalation in Reiserfs format 3.6 with standard Journal ready on /dev/hdb8
- Check fstab /dev/hdb and it should have a line like this: /dev/hdb8 22116
24321 17G 83 Linux
- Start new installation o Debian 4.0 Etch or Ubuntu
- Choose manual partitioning.
- Select another partition as installation root
- Save partition selection
- Review new changes.
- NOW HERE IT COMES: THE /dev/hdb8 WILL BE LISTED AS SWAP PARTITION THAT WILL
WAS FOUND AND WILL BE FORMATED. Bad joke, isn't it?
- Switch to the text console to see what packages ran lately and you shall see:
"Partman: PV /dev/hdb8"
" kernel: ReiserFS: hdb8: found Reiserfs format 3.6 with Standard Journal"
Setup files:
Partition table prior the problem on fstab /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb8 22116 24321 17G 83 Linux
This is correct. Swap partition would have type 82.
** Changed in: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
