Hi, in the so far final meeting yesterday (about half of the YaST Team participated) concerning storage wizards we agreed on the following: - We want a wizard to create a RAID where the user selects disks, in general partitionables, and provides a size (either max, size of resulting RAID or size of partition. YaST then creates partitions on the disks. Otherwise the wizard is like the existing one (e.g. select RAID level, optional RAID name). We do not want to use pools of disks for this. - In general we also want such wizards to create a bcache or LVM volume group. But the concept here is not so clear so this will happen later. We also want to wait for feedback about the RAID wizard. - Although likely not a new wizard as such we also want during installation the possibility to generate a storage proposal from the expert partitioner. This should allow the user: - Fine control over removing things before generating the proposal. - Create things differently that the proposal does, e.g. LVM logical volume for /, which the proposal then keeps/uses. Some additional UI improvements: - When removing a RAID the user should get the option to also remove the partitions the RAID uses. This should also be possible for bcache and LVM. - Since wizards make big changes to the graph of devices, some undo mechanism should be provided. One idea is to always save the state before starting an action/dialog/wizard from the main dialog of the expert partitioner. ciao Arvin -- Arvin Schnell, <aschnell@suse.com> Senior Software Engineer, Research & Development SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
