So I prefer wizard that allows me to just select devices where I want raid without any additional logic with pools. > > > Abstraction > > ----------- > > > > I worry that this abstraction just confuse users.

I think it is SUSE strategy to support just one technology for given task, so I am not sure if this abstraction make sense when plan is to have just one supported implementation. > > ciao Arvin > Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
