I really do want to separate hardware RAID controllers from regular old disks, though. That's the point of all the storage filtering - show different types of disks in different panes so you can quickly and easily sort them out. I agree that the name-based approach is pretty bad, especially as we find other types of disks. We've played this game before. However, we're going to need to find another approach. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
