Hello,

currently, YaST-partitioner will suggest to delete existing LVMs and
re-partition the free space for a new installation. This is clearly a
very bad idea for anyone who runs openSUSE in an LVM-environment.

It should be no problem at all to change this non-sensical default as
the YaST is perfectly capable of making a 100%-accurate LVM-based
partitioning proposal that not only keeps the existing LVM intact but
also suggests to re-format (LVM-)root only and create a mount-point for
the existing (LVM-)/home.

Unfortunately the bug has been declared 'INVALID' quickly and without
discussion.

I stil think that this behavior of the partitioner is highly undesirable
and could easily be changed.

So I would like a public discussion of this bug on this mailing-list;
please take the time to have a look at it:

Thanks,
Chris
