It is not something, it is YaST. It is a system configuration tool, not a desktop tool for the user.
Users have been told for years and years to use yast partitioner in order to add partitions to fstab. It is well known this behaviour.
It is documented: <https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha-expert-partitioner.html>
And when you tick "mount device" it clearly shows "fstab options".
It handles LVM as well. What it doesn't handle, it seems to me, is dynamically resizing partitions with live file systems on them, or moving them around, shuffling to make a span of space where you've deleted smaller partitions on a larger drive. Yes, there are 3rd party tools for that :-) BUT this is why I use LVM and ReiserFS. It is the ultimate in 'deferred design' as far as file systems and disk partitioning goes. You can grow or shrink a ReiserFS system on LVM with the system running :-) No worries :-) BTDT. Of course I did it at the CLI 'cos YaST doesn't know about this. And yes it is well documented. I first learnt about this from a paper published by one of the SUSE technical staff, Michael Hasenstein, in 2001 that describes its implementation for SuSE 6.1 http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Unix/Linux/LINUX_lvm_whitepaper_SuSE.pdf A wonderful explanation! ftp://biologs.bf.lu.lv/pub/OS/datori/Compaq/Proliant350/linux/lvm_whitepaper.pdf -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
