Maybe some "trigger" trick should be added when upgrading to the "kernel with unsupported flag", creating a drop-in file in /etc/modprobe.d when unsupported flags are detected in /etc/fstab and displaying a warning (and a link to a webpage giving hints on how to revert to a supported configuration).
Yeah, this is definitely doable. Can we get the YaST team on board with adding that notification and support?
Wouldn't it be enough to have the kernel panic with a descriptive message when the allow_unsupported is needed for the rootfs but not set?
Which might not be the best approach for remotely operated systems.
Seems less work :-)
And I personally don't like auto-enabling of "dangerous" features without my interaction. But that's just my opinion.
Then we need a notification mechanism which is independent from YaST and libzypp as Arvin suggested in his reply. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
