I expect the wizard result is the device without a filesystem, that is, a RAID, LVM VG, Bcache. Well, Btrfs is special and the result is a filesystem of course.
I was also proposing an step forward. We could ask for the basic information about the partitions/volumes that the user wants to create over the new device.
For example: I want a RAID 5 with 3 partitions over it, 20 GiB EXT4 for /, 20 GiB XFS for /home and 2 GiB for swap.
OK, so for RAID and LVM the user specifies the sizes the resulting partitions resp. logical volumes and YaST the creates a RAID resp. volume group big enough for all of them.
Later, the user could use the partition dialog to fine tuning the result, for example to configure the filesystem options.
That is one thing I do not like about the expert
partitioner. After creating a RAID I must select the RAID and
then create the file system. I would prefer if the file system
selection comes immediately (or this role selection).
