OMG Partition error

OMG Partition error. Installer is detecting partitions in wrong way.

sda7 is root = Currently Wrong
sda8 is Linux Swap = OK
sda9 is Home = Currently Wrong

That is how I select Partition.
But installer is formatting and identifying wrongly.

I saw this is fixed before. But it is generating again.
I selected proper mount Points too.

When are you going to fix this and give us a new OM LX 3.02 ISO for us to install…?

@pujithadimuthu Hi, can you please check outupt from these console commands:

parted /dev/sda print

and

fdisk -l

You could run ISO in ‘Live’ and show screen shots of what you think Installer is doing wrong.

We’ll get our full time paid staff working on this right away.

They have sent me a report right now saying that they want a salary increase.
We need to find the money now…

OMG not a strike, not now, aw man…

I haven’t interpreted it as a request but simply as a question.

Getting back to users question. pujithadimuthu if you want help with this you need to provide all the information requested in post 2 by @TPG and post 3 by @ben79.

Lx 3.02 ISO was released June 21, 2017 there isn’t going to be another one released as far as I know.

Did you use automatic feature in Calamares? You may set mount point by hand in case.

Used manual Partition. I do not use automatic…

You could try to install OMLx only on sda7 (not using /home partition) and if everything is fine, you will be able to mount the home partition later with the command line.

As you wish

When you perform manual partition you may manually select the mount point.

Here is an axample with mcc

and here with calamares

This is independent on weather you format the partition or not.
