[Mageia-dev] [RFC] SSD partitioning in the installer as a release blocker

[Kamil Rytarowski]

Hello!

SSD is a next-generation disk (drive) storage. It's a damage prone, due 
to a wrong partitioning.

Currently our installer cannot shift and partition SSD partitions in the 
right way, and it effects with:
- much slowness
- much shorter life
- problems with dualboot

The only solution is to have it right is to use an independent 
partitioning tool before installing Mageia onto disk (drive).

My proposition is to mark this problem as a release blocker, because we 
have to assume that we won't release any new/fixed ISOs of Mga3 after 
the final release and more and more people will buy new hardware and 
experience problems until rapid death of their SSD.
