Description Joachim Gleissner 2005-12-15 15:35:29 UTC

When setting mount point of an existing crypto filesystem in yast2, yast2 runs an fsck on it after the user entered the passphrase. This can take a few minutes, without the user given any feedback. Is it really necessary to run fsck at this point? And if yes, a popup telling the user that it may take a moment would be really desirable imho.

Yes, it is necessary to do a fsck to reliably detect the encryption type used.
I can add a popup but unfortunately if fsck is fast (e.g. for small fs) it will
vanish so fast that nobody can read it and this will propably confuse people
more.

Hm, I see. Would it be possible to have a minimum popup time?

Comment 3 Thomas Fehr 2005-12-15 16:47:32 UTC

AFAIK there is no such functionality in YaST2 UI and I do not really want to
add a "sleep 2" or similar just to make the Popup readable in all cases.

Comment 4 Thomas Fehr 2006-01-25 16:59:42 UTC

Now there is a popup while crypto type detection is running
