Motivation¶

Both guided_ext4 and guided_xfs tests fail in validate_block_devices.

The root cause is that YaST now requests more space for the system, therefore it will no longer propose a separate home partion.

• Screenshot of guided_xfs partitioning scheme and resulting failure
• Screenshot of guided_ext4 partitioning scheme and resulting failure

The test_data used in validate_block_devices is still assuming that we have a separate home partition, so it will check for /dev/vda4 which doesn't exist.

ToDo¶

A simple verification test showed that the problem goes away when you increae the hard disk size from 20 GB to 30 GB for those 2 tests.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: HDDSIZEGB is set to 30 for the 2 tests and problem does not occur any longer.

Agreed with YaST developers on Slack that this should be treated as a regression and must be fixed in YaST.
See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219913 now.

Last comment in bsc1219913 says, that we need to increase disk size. So status is set back to new.

Hi @rainerkoenig, I don't see any failing job for this ticket, reopen if there is something to do here.

I updated Comment#1 to point also to the failures that are caused by the wrong partitioning scheme.
