Call for action: Review and discuss http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Security_use_cases using the following questions: * Are there any use cases missing?
Users who buy an external hard drive/usb stick which is pre-formatted with e.g. fat32 but they want to format/re-partition it to fit their Linux needs.
Currently they need root privileges, have to know how to open YaST, which module to use for formatting and after that they have to know that they still cannot use it because the disk belongs to root and one would have to change the file permissions. Yet changing the file permissions is not part of the formatting tool…
With other OSs making an external hard drive usable is a lot easier.
Could you add this to the wiki, please?
