iSeries: Installation gives warning when mounting partition

Support knowledgebase (mount_gives_warning)

Symptom:

You are mounting a previously existing partition (other than root) in YaST2 during installation. YaST2 is warning you that you are installing to a partition without formatting.

Solution:

You can ignore this warning.

It is important that you not try to install the root of your partition into an existing partition without formatting.

But it is ok to mount an existing partition ( like /home ) without formatting it.
