## Observation Starting a Leap 15.0 installation the installer proposes to delete my 2TB data and home partition to create a home partition instead. I consider this a dangerous choice as data could be lost. ## Expected result Of course, this is always a risk when conducting an installation but I would assume that the installer tries to only find space for the root filesystem - which it did, but also proposed to delete a very big data partition on a second hard disk drive, which would not have been necessary to install. I would expect one or multiple of the following: * only the first disk is touched to look for space by default * partitions that are not necessarily needed for root or home are not touched by default * existing partitions which are very big - most likely important data partitions - are not touched by default to be on the safe side ## Further details This "bug" has been observed by multiple persons and was also received as openSUSE community feedback so not only me.
