Hi, using yast partitioner to partition 4TB hard disks after the procedure of setting of partitioning parameters, when click finish everything disappear!
having no news on operation proceeds the user try to do something other, also switch off or restart the computer, damaging the hard disk becouse the formatting procedure is in progress.
trying to access to yast partitioner when the formatting procedure is in progress a strange message like "impossible to reach storage system" or something similar appear, it should be better a message like formatting in progress.
also, if the user wait the end of formatting, yast partitioner doesn't update the situation of the formatted disk.
you have to restart or to use gparted to see if the partition procedure went well.
please correct this bug becouse is very dangerous
