(Re-sending what I wrote elsewhere)

I'm still using 15.1 so comments are about that state. My laptop
contains two disks by default, I use LVM, no btrfs.

- YaST Disk starts at "Available storage on *" and I never found it any
  useful as it contains everything mixed together
- Hard Disks does not list hard disks, but Disks and Partitions, again,
  not very useful, but better
- A particular disk, when selected, lands at Overview and again, I never
  found it any useful as I'm not interested in any of the info there

I'd probably really expect

- To see only disks, when I click on Hard Disks
- To go directly to partitions when selecting a disk
- To see Volumes when selecting a LV instead of seeing overview

Obviously all this comes from use-cases. You have a different use-case
when installing a machine and different use case when you want to tune
your partitioning or get more info about disks/partitions on your
running system.

Of course, there are more ideas that I'd write here just after seeing
the partitioner after a few weeks without using it  but this is
already enough.

Thanks for opening the topic
