Description Katarina Machalkova 2008-05-16 10:16:28 UTC

For openSUSE 11.1, Yast tools for storage management (discs, LVMs, RAIDs etc.) is going to be completely redesigned. View some preliminary pictures here:

http://users.suse.cz/~kmachalkova/cool-stuff.png http://users.suse.cz/~kmachalkova/partition.png http://users.suse.cz/~kmachalkova/lvm.png

However, we have no icons for RAIDs, Crypt files, Device mapper and Unused devices (therefore you see only some generic ones in the screenshot above).

Can these icons please be added?

The screenshots appear to have been moved. Would you mind attaching them directly to this bug? Thanks.

I've added yast-raid and yast-encrypted to the yast icon theme. 

I'm strugling a bit with the other metaphors though. Can you give a bit of background on what 'unused devices' are? Are those partitions/disks that aren't recognised?

Same thing for device mapper -- While I'm probably using it when mounting LUKS encrypted volumes, what exactly is it and why do we need to expose it to the user? Thanks

Comment 7 Arvin Schnell 2008-06-11 09:43:00 UTC

"Unused Devices" is easy:

- disks that have no partitions and are not used as devices for e.g.
  RAID or LVM

- partitions that have no mount point and are not used as devices for
  e.g. RAID or LVM

So in general it's a device that you can format and assign a mount
point to or use for RAID or LVM.

"Device Mapper" is more difficult. Device mapper devices are somehow
assembled by other devices (it's a very general concept). E.g. logical
volumes for LVM are assembled that way. Encrypted partitions are also
handled this way.

But the devices shown here are the once the partitioner doesn't
recognize (e.g. as logical volumes or as encryption devices). Normally
no devices should be shown here but the user or some tool can create
device mapper devices of new kind.

Hope that helps.

yast-theme now includes the following new icons:

yast-device-mapper
yast-encrypted
