This is the way it's been for a long time now and I think changing it is likely to cause more confusion. We'll take this into consideration, though, when we rework partitioning some in the future. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050923 Fedora/1.7.12-1.5.1 Description of problem: In a logical sense, a user should fill in the dialogs from top down (at least for english languages ; ) During partitioning it would therefore make better sense to choose a file system type before choosing it's mount point. This would get around feeling obliged to select a mount point, and then finding that selecting the swap type clears the previous entry. Also, it makes more sense to choose a file system type (ie the formatting of the logical volume or partition) before choose where to mount it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. During step parttype, choose to view/edit the partitions. 2. In the step partition, modify / create a swap partition. 3. edit logical volume: (depends on whether lvm or not) Actual Results: Info is requested in order: mount point: file system type: logical volume name: size: (size limit text) Expected Results: A more logical order is: file system type: size: (size limit text) mount point: logical volume name: (since this is auto generated anyway) Additional info: While all the info is needed, it makes sense to set first that you want swap / some file system type, then choose where you want it mounted. {or maybe I'm just weird.}
