The "Expert Partitioner" on http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/422/yastI-PrtSugPrt422-0768.jpg is a misnomer. To reach genuinely expert partitioning you need
"Create Partition Setup"
so that you can choose
"Custom Partitioning (for experts)":

Thanks! This has worked, and after creating an LVM partition, the "Create" button in Volume Management contained "new volume group". It let me create a group and assign the new LVM partition to it. The rest went smoothly and I now have 42.3 running off SSD, the Crucial 250 Gb. According to gnome-disks read benchmark, the new SSD has a bit over 500 MB/s read speed and 0.08ms seek, while the 2014 WD Red HDD has about 122 Mb/s read speed and about 16ms seek. (The read speed for the HDD is somehow falling with test time; it's constant for SSD). -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
