This is the inherent problem with the fixed provisioning attitude we've had dumped on us, is implicit in the YAST defaults, and goes back to the early days of UNIX when a 10 MEG was considered large.
Its archaic and ridiculous in the these days of >50G drives, never mind the 1T drives that are available for under $50. ... I am at a loss to understand why Yast does not recommend using LVM for drives over a certain threshold. ... Why oh why are we repeating the mistakes of the last century?
If you seriously want an answer, a user help list is surely a worse than ideal place to ask. Try on yast-devel@opensuse.org . I suspect it's more likely about limited expertise and resources than attributes of the choices YaST offers, and/or the hopes and promises of btrfs. Could well be it's already on FATE. If not, maybe you should put it there. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
