Every time she mentions some system config choice that she has set up differently, it's always for a perfectly and demonstrably sensible reason. It's always something that no one has any right to suggest to someone else they should not do or that it's wrong, even by the weak standard of popularity.
But, as she just said, in this case, she tried to use the bog standard official install dvd.
Perhaps you hadn't got to the latter parts of this thread. Along the way Carlos pointed out to me my confusion. The way Linda had interspersed her comments about this installation with her regular comments about a "zero sized initrd' and her regular comments about "sysd" had me confused. There are times I like bullet lists of points for clarification. You might have noticed that in my other posts. Once that was made clear to me by Carlos I drilled down on her issue with "thin pool" creation, since I am, as regular reader will recall, a proponent of LVM and had successfully built thin pool systems in the past and wondered what the gap was. I determined that yes, she was correct, there was a bug in YaST, well actually in one of the libraries used by YaST, and further that this bug had been reported and fixed back in February. If you think about that, it means the fix can't be in the installation DVD. Tumbleweed is another matter, though. Yes, as Linda pointed out, the bug was in (the use of) YaST. if you use the CLI to build the thin pool system, as I had done in the past, and thank you the guys at Arch for a very nice page about this, you would never have met this problem. I rarely use YaST. Things like this do not encourage me to use YaST.
