Unmounted partitions during install. How to?

[Paulo]

Hi.

How can I leave some unmounted partitions?
Blanking any mount point causes install to not proceed!!!

I have 2 big partitions with some LVMs that I want
to leave unmounted.

Does the installer only build fstab? If this is the case, I could
keep install proceeding and then edit fstab before rebooting.

Thanks.

Re: Unmounted partitions during install. How to?

You can, in fact, just remove them from /etc/fstab later.

By the way, the alternate install CD gives you more options/control.

Anyway, this seems more like a bug! There is the possibility of leaving blank the mount points. But this "option" is not accepted when trying to continue.
The "installer" should only check for the root mount point.

Thank you.

Bad fstab generated by installer

OK. I proceeded with installation, deleted the unneeded lines from fstab
and successfully rebooted.

However, the original fstab generated had the following problem:
It uses the partitions that constain my lvm and mount them as
reiserfs partitions!!!

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

/dev/sda8 and /dev/sdb8 are the partitions that contain the LVMs!!!
