I'd like to have the option in the UI at least, but given the timeframes for F18 at this point, I don't think we want to get too fancy in poking the storage code. We accepted the bug for this issue as NTH at today's review meeting: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=856456 so this can go into F18...but please keep it a relatively straightforward change for F18 :) I think anything tricky related to this should be held for F19, for F18 we should just make simple changes, even if they're not optimal - so no tricky 'if this then that but on the other hand if THIS then THAT and change it later' stuff. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
