I must say though I wonder (a bit late I guess, but this is the first
time I'm actually playing around with the new code) what the use is of
the simple screen is at all. Filtering was added for the big iron case,
why not "simply" skip it when doing simple configuration and leave
exclusiveDisks empty (thus showing all disks later as we did before).
The simple screen is there for people who may have several disks and
want some assurance that anaconda's not going to screw around with them
at all. It's yet another thing to help people feel better that we won't
destroy their data on some non-installation drive. The simple screen
does not just put all device types into a single view - it only deals
with regular disks.
I'm not saying that all devices should be there in a single view, what
I'm saying is that since it is only a single view, it is not strange
for it to have more devices there, then that will be listed in
the Basic tab in the non single view.
And I still believe that BIOS RAID sets should be listed in the
Simple screen single view. Let me put it this way, if ubuntu supports
in its pretty basic installer, it should be in the Simple screen.
BIOS RAID is even used in (gaming) laptops, it is not like this is
some sort of exotic server technology like iscsi, fcoe or mpath.
I have some ideas for how to trim down the number of screens that the
average home user will see, but they require dispatcher work that I
don't yet have time for.
Good.
Regards,
Hans
