From 3a7504cbc490f74d9b9d0a3a461058c1d6cafbe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Geerinckx-Rice Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 14:40:52 +0200 Subject: installer: Reorder file system type listbox. Recommending ext4 over btrfs is probably ill-advised nowadays. See the regular bug reports about running out of /gnu/store directory entries, for which the documented fix then breaks booting with GRUB. Instead, just list regular file systems alphabetically. We can bikeshed bcachefs later ;-) Move second-class file systems like NTFS to their own section at the end of the list. * gnu/packages/package-management.scm (run-fs-type-page): Reorder the LISTBOX-ITEMS. --- gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'gnu/installer') diff --git a/gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm b/gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm index ea524eb4c3..70c11ed8ad 100644 --- a/gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm +++ b/gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm @@ -131,7 +131,11 @@ Be careful, all data on the disk will be lost.")
