Add more info to "Select A Disk" dialog during install #17

Closed sysrich closed 5 months ago

Original report form "Mike Watkins": https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225067

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Build Identifier:

Selec A Disk currently displays a string comprised of media type + media name + size + serial number; plus size as another value.

For those of us with multiple drives, whether the others have an OS on them or not (data or backup devices), it would be uber-helpful if this dialog could show a bit more info to support selection. If it were possible to gather information from the partitions on a drive, this would help in decision making too.

lsblk -o name,label,fstype,serial

This would, for example, help one avoid overwriting a drive with a different OS or a file system that obviously doesn't belong to a previous Aeon install.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install

To be sure of the disk I was installing to, I aborted the install, restarted my RC1 installation, ran an appropriate lsblk command, and took a photo of the output.
