Bug#818595: dasd-config: allow users to re-format DASDs in non-expert mode
Package: s390-dasd
Version: 0.0.35
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i patch
Recently, a change lowered the priority of the question to low-level
format a DASD. The "low" priority caused the question to be displayed
only in the expert mode (unless debconf priority has been manually
changed).
There are cases where users might want to low-level format a DASD
even if it is already formatted. For example, if a DASD uses LDL
and the user wants to reformat the DASD as CDL.
Thus, increase the priority to "high" to be always displayed in
non-expert mode again. Of course, depending on the format status
a meaningful default is set.
Thanks and kind regards,
Hendrik
