Define "best" - Your "best" only is "optimal" in the sense of "least likelihood to fail during initial installs". It is not "best" with regard to other aspects, e.g. - it kills /home during careless upgrades (reformat ... Yes -> boom) - it is unsafe to use, because allows arbitrary ordinary users to fill "/" e.g. through filling /tmp, /var or /home. .. I take the fact, this issue "gets brought up every now and again", as a strong indication of your claim ("this default is best") not to be true. I read this as: "In longer terms users are facing issues". Ralf -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
