I don't believe we explicitly considered that question at the time of writing the criterion. However, my interpretation as the person who drafted it (IIRC) would be that the "appropriate tool" for any partition with data on it is a tool which is at least *intended* to preserve the data. In an ideal world, with no specific technical concerns, it would be my expectation that we would not offer an operation named "resize" in the case where we have no idea how to preserve any contents of the volume. We would only offer an operation named "resize" in cases where we do actually have some idea how to perform a non-destructive resize. I'm entirely open to there being technical reasons why this is not possible, though. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
