Feature changed by: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) Feature #309914, revision 4 Title: Add Disk Labels to partitions during install openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: David Kroher (dkroher) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Standard Opensuse install does not add disk labels to partitions during install. It should label when the partition is created for what it is root/home. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This can be very useful when plugging a hdd opensuse was installed on to another machine, eg, via USB. The notifier will display the disk labels without having to guess what is on each partition. Should be fairly simple to implement, and I only expect to be done when separate home partition is selected during install. More partitions than that, and I see it up to the user to define the labels. + Discussion: + #1: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) (2010-06-20 09:28:21) + it's so easy to do that manually during the install, or by autoyast xml + file. That there's no reason to make it automatically. + In server scenario, we have multiple partition, so how would you name + them, by their mount point ? + How would you spell them Root root ROOT why not SUSE or openSUSE- + [version]. I mean there's the same number of rules as the number of + user. + Another interessting case is the following : On dev machine you have 2 + or 3 versions of opensuse, did you know hat if you have mutliple time + the same label on partition it would add a -1 behind it. How would you + find then which one is the right. + Sorry for me it's just a non feature. + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309914
