Description

A given class of installation (e.g. workstation, server, etc...) will come up with a set of partitions and pre-determined sizes that Anaconda will try to fit on the selected disk space, although it might end up using something different. The size reported in the edit panel is the pre-determined size, not the one Anaconda was eventually able to use. Displaying the pre-determined size gives Anaconda the ability to setup growable partitions. I'm not sure I understand why this is ok. A user is presented with inconsistant information, and the edit screen from which he's making changes from is wrong. Shouldn't the edit screen read the disk label to see what its current state is, or if thats not possible note that the information presented is (or may not) be accurate? As I recall we found this after the autopartitioning had done its thing and we were given a chance to edit it... Phil! |
