So I decide to open a feature request about the below at features.opensuse.org for this.

Much to my surprise only OpenSUSE members are allowed to create features.

What's up with that?

Missing man*hours Greg. There was discussion on opensuse-project mail list, and until there will be more people to look at features, there is no much point to open to the every Novell account owner.

For now I can do that for you, then you can add comments with details.

Thanks, I would appreciate that. That basic request is that one or more simple tools be provided to allow a fstab to be automatically converted from /dev/sdaX nomenclature to one of the preferred methods. Once it exists, I think it should be made available to 11.1 users somehow and the 11.2 install DVDs should tell the user to use it instead of just saying: "You need to boot back into your un-upgraded distro and fix your /etc/fstab" or words to that effect. I simply think that text is unacceptable, and as a fairly experienced OpenSUSE user it has been a royal pain to figure out how to do it. If a tool is out of the question, then a WIKI entry and reference to it from the dialog window asking the user to perform the reconfig is a minimal feature that should be done. FYI: I just "asked to be a member." I assume I will be accepted. If so, I see I'll get a opensuse email address. Why don't you use yours?

In the case of user that has no additional computers, that is catch 22. Not good.

Disagree. The instructions are to abort your upgrade and boot back in to the non-upgraded OS. Once you do that you can access a wiki entry. So the only issue is that it requires Internet access to read the wiki. Even if the machine being upgraded is not on the Internet, I think it is reasonable to expect that a person has Internet access in some way.
