http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090383 Bug ID: 1090383 Summary: Installer proposes to delete a 2TB partition to create a home partition - should the default not be to preserve existing? Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: okurz@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- ## Observation Starting a Leap 15.0 installation the installer proposes to delete my 2TB data and home partition to create a home partition instead. I consider this a dangerous choice as data could be lost. ## Expected result Of course, this is always a risk when conducting an installation but I would assume that the installer tries to only find space for the root filesystem - which it did, but also proposed to delete a very big data partition on a second hard disk drive, which would not have been necessary to install. I would expect one or multiple of the following: * only the first disk is touched to look for space by default * partitions that are not necessarily needed for root or home are not touched by default * existing partitions which are very big - most likely important data partitions - are not touched by default to be on the safe side ## Further details This "bug" has been observed by multiple persons and was also received as openSUSE community feedback so not only me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
