When I open Fstab options after having selected volume label as the default mount by, why for a freshly formatted target / partition with volume label is UUID preselected instead of Volume Label?
Question for Arvin - added to CC.
As long as you have not set a label the mount method cannot be by-label.
It's also unclear e.g. whether you *create* the volume before or after you have set the default mount-by method.
Some people have the foresight to plan in advance of installation how they want their storage configured, and have it ready to go when installation begins.
I thought it perfectly clear by saying
for a freshly formatted target / partition with volume label
That means I did, and do, all partitioning, and filesystem creation, in advance of starting any operating system installer. I use one and only one partitioning tool for all my systems and disks. It's one never included in any Linux, Mac or Windows installer, but has binaries for DOS, Linux, Mac, OS/2 & Windows, which means there's never any partition table incompatibility among operating systems on my disks as long as no installer has done something unnecessary, unwanted and unauthorized.
OK, it was unclear to me that you do not create and format the partitions with YaST. Where the mount points set by the storage proposal? In that case you can only set the default mount-by method after the proposal code has run so the volumes are not affected anymore by the default settings. I created a feature request years ago to solve this problem but so far it was not implememented.
