Notice that you could also create the filesystem on the whole disk, no partitions.
You can, but IMHO it is a bad decision to do so. It exposes you to several more ways you can shoot yourself in the foot, and can confuse anybody else who looks at the disk (of course, that might be a bonus in some circumstances).
That's right, but it makes it really easy to resize (at least, increase size of) your filesystem when it is on external storage array LUN. Just grow a LUN and resize filesystem. Changing partition size is rather more involving (not sure if it can be done online at all). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
