[Bug 966870] New: LVM+LUKS encrypted root partition created by Tumbleweed (and Leap) has on 10 GB space
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=966870 Bug ID: 966870 Summary: LVM+LUKS encrypted root partition created by Tumbleweed (and Leap) has on 10 GB space Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: 2015* Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: peter.simons@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Last week I installed two machines with Tumbleweed and Leap 42.1, respectively, and in both cases I chose an LVM/LUKS-encrypted installation using ext4 and no separate /home partition. The installation process worked fine. However, in both cases the installer created an install plan that reserved only 10 GB of space for the system's (encrypted) root partition -- leaving some ~450 GB of available disk space unused. That choice seems odd to me. I realize that it's a good idea to have some free space available on an LVM-managed disk so that people can create additional partitions, performs snapshots, etc. From that point of view, I think it's fine that the root partition didn't take up *all* the remaining disk space despite the fact that I chose the "use the entire disk" option. However, allocating only 10 GB for the root disk seems way too conservative, and I reckon that many users will not be happy with that default (like myself). My suggestion would be to implement behavior in the installer that works the other way round: rather than allocating a default partition that's minimal and trust that people will enlarge it when required, I'd rather see the installer create a root partition that's maximal and trust that people will shrink it if they want additional volumes in the /system group. In any case, 10GB for the root disk seems like an odd choice that's not going to work out for virtually anyone. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
