Enhance partitioner to be more user friendly.

It be much easier for people to have a GUI representation of used disk space.

Something like what's in partition magic, where you can use your mouse to modify the size etc.

See attached screenshot

This is surely not a UI bug. It might be a feature request if anybody ever gets a concept how to handle all the multiple dimensions of this (LVM, EVMS, RAID) and hundreds of disks (S/390).

Comment 2 Magnus Boman 2008-05-15 16:18:06 UTC

Still valid though. Changing to RFE

Comment 3 Stefan Hundhammer 2008-05-16 12:02:51 UTC

Then find someone proper to reassign it to. I won't keep track of somebody's vague ideas.

Comment 4 Magnus Boman 2008-05-17 02:19:08 UTC

Arvin,
I saw your blog post about redesigning the partitioner. Any chance of taking this into consideration?

Comment 5 Arvin Schnell 2008-05-17 18:28:20 UTC

We have plans for a bar graph per disk and volume group, although
with less information than in the screen shot.

But it has low priority.

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:11:45 UTC

mass reopening of later+remind bugs of 11.0

Comment 7 Arvin Schnell 2008-06-25 15:04:50 UTC

Feature request for required widget was rejected.

Comment 8 Arvin Schnell 2008-08-04 13:20:17 UTC

Comment 9 Alexey Eremenko 2008-08-04 19:15:38 UTC

This is very sad, because me too, would like to see Yast partitioner more graphical.

I think I will vote for this bug.
