https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815200 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815200#c0 Summary: kiwi: analyze and document LVM setup better Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: System Imaging AssignedTo: ms@suse.com ReportedBy: ms@suse.com QAContact: adrian@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Community Feedback - system partitioning: kiwi could do a better job and recognize that the setup cannot be established and at least warn before. A check of the values size, oem-systemsize and sizes in systemdisk - In general, I think these tags make sense. The part that is not intuitive (to me, anyway) is the interaction between "oem-systemsize", "systemdisk", and "size". More specifically, it is difficult for me to predict when kiwi will resize LVM volumes and when it will not. In most cases, I've been able to look at "boot.kiwi", and then read through the code to figure out what kiwi is doing. - In terms of documentation, I think the sections that describe "oem-systemsize" and "size" could be improved. It wasn't clear to me that "size" controls the size of the image file itself, not the image as it is installed on the hardware. For "oem-systemsize", it might helpful to explain that this applies to the image as it is installed on the hardware. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's now based on free spaces vs. additional needed space.
