| smagoun | I'm trying to install 10.10 on a disk that has /home on sda3. I want to redo the partition table from scratch, so when ubiquity starts I choose the 'manually partition' option. At some point between the 'choose partitioning method' screen and the 'allocate drive space' screen, the OS mounts sda3 on /home. | 15:58 |
|---|---|---|
| smagoun | As a result, when I try to create a new partition table on the disk, the installer complains that the table can't be written because one partition is in use. Is there a reason the installer mounts /home? | 15:58 |
| smagoun | ok, further testing suggests that /home can be mounted before I choose manual partitioning. Is this a safety measure to allow us to preserve the contents of /home? | 16:02 |
| ev | odd. It's probably not os-prober as it wouldn't mount it under home and would be using a new namespace anyway | 16:15 |
| ev | and it's not likely to be the desktop, as we're inhibiting udisks | 16:15 |
| ev | though that has needed some special attention in the past | 16:15 |
| ev | it's most certainly not a safety measure | 16:16 |
| superm1 | persistence maybe? | 16:48 |
| superm1 | if you've created the USB stick with it and made a change that caused /home to be mounted at some point | 16:48 |
| smagoun | It's a USB stick, but it's not set up for persistence | 16:50 |
