Bug ID: 400214
Summary: Inaccurate device representation in Places panel
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.08.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: places
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ash...@linuxcomp.ru
Target Milestone: ---
For block devices that do not have fs label or partlabel, dolphin will _always_
represent them as XX GiB Harddrive. However, a block device may be not a
partitionless harddrive, but a harddrive's partition. It may be located in ssd,
but not hdd. It may be not a physical partition, but lvm logical volume or raid
storage.
So I suggest more accurate naming for devices that do not have partlabel of fs
label:
+---------------------+------------------------+
| block device | show as |
+---------------------+------------------------+
| partitionless hdd | Harddrive XX GiB |
| hdd partition | hdd partition XX GiB |
| partitionless ssd | SSD XX GiB |
| hdd partition | ssd partition XX GiB |
| lvm logical volume | Logical Volume XX GiB |
| software raid | raid XX GiB |
+---------------------+------------------------+
And also we may use lv name in case partlabel is unavailable for logical
volumes.
What do you think about such idea?
