Hi all,

I have been using Fedora for many years now, I'm generally very happy with it. I'm also positively surprised and comforted by this mailing list: the Fedora community is well alive and rocking :)

With that preamble, it's obvious I'm writing about a few problems I have with Fedora 11 :)

1) During installation (fresh installation from a Fedora 9 system), I chose "custom layout" and chose to leave /home and /opt alone. I also chose to leave another disk alone. To my surprise, once booted, I found that not only /home was deleted, but Fedora automatically used the other disk as a raid array... so I lost all that data as well. I surely would have liked an explicit option NOT to do that. Also, the disk mirrored is 75 GB. But the other disk was 300 GB. How can I use the remaining 225 GB?

2) During installation, I wish I had the choice to make SE Linux optional. As it was with previous releases.

3) This might not be Fedora-related, but I'm finding that the disk mounting is getting a bit complicated with time. I miss the days where fstab was easier to read and modify, and there were no layers between me and /dev/sda, etc (I'm talking about labels, uuid, etc). Also, there seems to be no more exact correlation between what fdisk see and what I can mount.

4) Still regarding disk mounting: I have an external hard drive that with Fedora 9 I could manually mount/dismount. That disk was in sleep mode when not used. It doesn't go in sleep mode anymore. Also, fdisk -l doesn't see it unless I mount it via the "external devices" button.

Is there any chance to see these issues addressed? From my point of view, all of the above issues were non-existent before, so it's kind of a "downgrade".

thanks for the attention,
mauri
