The process to remove each one is somewhat annoying in that it takes multiple clicks and screens to work through them all, each screen is not very responsive (even on a pretty fast CPU). The concen I has was doing an installation on a system with 20 LVM LVs of which 8 of them were pre-formatted swap partitions. A legitimate user that wants all swap files found to be activated after installation is much more of a niche than the opposite extreme. It is my belief the intended function of this feature is to make a normal users install/update easier, where they previously havce a single swap file partition to automatically presume to use it for the current installation. This feature I support (when just 1 swap file is found after an exhaustive storage probe). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: All 8 swap file were added, giving over 8Gb of SWAP for a 2Gb RAM system (in my case). Expected Results: It is highly unusual for most installations to require to setup more than one swap file during isntallation. So if during the partition and disk layout screen multiple swap files are probed and found (2 or more) then it should either: * Show a dialog box with partition label and size with a tick box next to each one, with no ticked by default. Allowing the user to tick or accept none, or * It should warn on the screen (multiple swap files found, installed unsure which to add, so none were added, please add individual file(s) mannually). therefore leaving it entirely upto the user to pick their add file. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
