[Bug 992241] Re: Upgrading using the live cd wipes /var/lib/mythtv/*

 

What's happening is that the "Upgrade" the live CD offers doesn't
maintain the MySQL database or the recordings that are stored in the
default /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/mythtv.

I believe this is happening in partman-target
(finish.d/clear_partitions). I'm not sure if there is any room to add
special cases though.
