Details

When I manually configure hard disk partition and mount points, I set /dev/sda1 to mount on /boot with options noatime. But after installing packages, in worker configure_system fstab editing I see
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
line.

So where did my "noatime" option go?

Severity "Medium" because while it is still possible to correct manually, some issues could happen if left unnoticed.
This task depends upon

That is a known bug (see also  FS#15907 ).
The mkfs.* and IMHO also mount options are not regognized or used during the whole install process.

Workaround is: set them in "Configure system"->fstab

hm? can you set mounting options in the autoprepare/filesystem configuration steps? IIRC you can only set options for mkfs there.
Comment by Dieter Plaetinck (Dieter_be) - Sunday, 18 April 2010, 16:52 GMT
in the manually configure blockdevices/filesystem steps, there are only dialogs to specify options for creating the filesystems (mkfs etc)
these are not automatically propagated to /etc/fstab.

if you want this feature, patch welcome.
