https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249380 Summary: bad suggestion to format /home, inconsistent default (still reiser) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: fehr@novell.com ReportedBy: sbrabec@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Trying to install openSUSE 10.2 on my home machine, it offered to create and format /home partition, which was already ext3 formatted. This suggestion is invalid on almost 100% of cases - most people with separate /home want to save its contents after installation. During manual repartitioning, it still offers reiserfs as default, if I click to "Format". I guess it should be ext3. Logs placed to: ~sbrabec/var_log_YaST2_utx Suggestions to improvement: If /home partition already caries linux-friendly filesystem (ext*, xfs, reiser*), never offer formatting. While formatting partitions to file system, which supports it, use "Last mounted on" entry to properly identify disc structure on next installation. If more version of SuSE Linux is found in several partitions, the oldest one should be scheduled to be overwritten. When suggesting to format, don't inherit label from previous partition contents. Especially for / it causes nonsenses (e. g. openSUSE 10.1 with label "Gentoo Linux"). When switching to format, ext2 should be default, not reiserfs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
