Perhaps, but the list of possibly usable defaults for Fedora is not very long. ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs for now, I'd say. Anything that "popped up" last month is not going to be ready for primetime for years. That said, I'd love to see it easy to tweak the default from among the supported anaconda filesystems via kickstart or boot-time option, vs. having to go into the detailed custom storage setup screen. "ext3 please" is a lot simpler request than custom partitioning with volume managers, and today it's all rolled into one... -Eric > Filter out those that do not live up to that criteria and any base line > they set for their decision like "must not perform worse then the > current default" must work well on SSD's" etc.. settle on one that > benefits most likely most the novice end users. > ( We experienced users are able to choose tweak and turn any knob at > install time to suit our need which makes the novice end user the lowest > dominator) > > JBG -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
