[Bug 555243] New: usability issues with the LVM part of the partitioner
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555243 Summary: usability issues with the LVM part of the partitioner Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090410 SUSE/1.1.18-0.1.1 SeaMonkey/1.1.18 When installing on an empty harddisk, there are some issues with the LVM partitioner: 1) The suggestion (regarding size of the filesystems) differs greatly when switching from hard partition to LVM. Expectations would be that similar sizes are suggested 2) Even if nothing of the future structure has been created on disk, the partitioner refuses to resize the partition (e.g. sda5) that is used for LVM (PV). Instead, you must delete all logical volumes before you can resize the VG. 3) Even for the very experienced user, the usability of the LVM-part of the partitioner is poor. It's not quite obvious where to continue from having created the hard partitions. 4) Online help is incomplete (e.g. regarding encryped VGs and LVs) 5) On screens where there is a mandatory input field, the cursor is not positioned inside that field (or the first input field), so that the user has to do an extra click (or TAB). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above Expected Results: More intuitive -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
