Title: connecting an unpartitioned disk should bring up a partitioner
openSUSE-11.1: Evaluation
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Projectmanager: Desirable
Requested by: Juergen Weigert
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.

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.

+ 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.
