Hi Thilo,

I agree that it's not very complicated and my experience is,
that it always runs very smoothly.

However, I must defend Emil: it is more work than using the
options provided by the SuSE installation (= leaving things
as they come) and it becomes even more work if you want to
convert your root file system to XFS on a system without
spare partitions.
