Ok so the summary at this point is that we're in pretty much complete agreement.
On that point of the need to reset the defaults, yes,
But the basic difference between us seems to be this:
You believe wholeheartedly in BtrFS as the one correct file system.
I do not. This isn't even an approximation of my belief. I'm use case oriented and tend to defer to the user, as ultimately they're the one who has to manage whatever they create, not me. In my first post on this thread I didn't suggest a Btrfs /home for example. My two recommendations included retaining XFS for /home.
OBTW: I think minimising the number of commands required is just the latest iteration of what was once the idea of minimising the number of keystrokes. Personally I think clarity and openness matter more.
OK but using dmsetup instead of lvm tools is more clarity and openness, but do you do it that way? Even more clear and open is using a hex editor to directly modify the metadata on the hard drive sectors. There's also an attribute of tediousness, is what I'm getting at. And while I recognize why there are separate steps for pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate I find it tedious most of the time. There's even pvck, and vgck in addition to filesystem check. I'm a fan of well integrated optional layers that don't get in the user's way when they aren't making use of them. And when they do have a use case for them, they can make the modification easy, safely, and get back to what they were doing which is almost certainly more interesting to them than file system stuff. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
