Feature changed by: Christian Zoz <zoz@novell.com> Feature #305131, revision 6 Title: connecting an unpartitioned disk should bring up a partitioner - openSUSE-11.1: Evaluation + openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Christian Zoz <zoz@novell.com> + reject date: 2008-09-26 13:28:38 + reject reason: No easy solution and to late now. Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Juergen Weigert <jw@novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: USB or Firewire disks can be easily connected at runtime. For a newly bought disk, nothing happens, when it is connected for the first time. Unlike e.g. a USB-Memory-stick, which immediatly opens a filebrowser, when first connected. The technical difference is, disks come unformatted, USB-sticks come formatted. We should recognize this difference and pop up an easy to use partitioner. Discussion: #1: Stefan Behlert <behlert@novell.com> (2008-08-18 12:52:42) Christian, would it be possible to use HAL or something like that to pop-up the Yast-partitioner? I don't think we will get a stripped down partitioner at the moment for 11.1. #2: Danny Kukawka <dkukawka@novell.com> (2008-09-25 18:48:47) (reply to #1) No, HAL can't and shouldn't popup anything. It's up to the desktop (e.g. suse-plugger) to check the HAL events if a device get added to the machine and react on this. + #3: Christian Zoz <zoz@novell.com> (2008-09-26 13:28:09) + This must be done by the desktop. But it's to late now. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305131
