Description Florian Hubold 2015-10-10 17:56:08 CEST 
Description of problem:

Currently diskdrake allows to enable options for a selected partition, which seems pretty useless for casual use. Could some kind of popup dialog be added that says something like

"You are trying to configure options for a partition for which no mountpoint has been defined. Please first define a mountpoint [or click cancel to configure options non-persistently]"

or similar, when trying to open the options dialog for a partition for which no mountpoint is defined yet?

Comment 1 Bit Twister 2016-07-12 01:24:03 CEST 
If the diskdrake code is the same used during clean installs or the Custom Partitioning phase, I would not appreciate that "feature" unless the code automagically sets the mount point the same as the partition label as default when the mount point screens opens.

Reason being, my mount points are/will be the same as partition label.
As a result, using the Expert mode, I click the Label button, Ctrl+c the label, click Ok, click Mount Point, Ctrl+v to paste in the label as mount point.

Your request would force users like me to type in mount points which would get tedious for
     $ blkid | wc -l
     16
mount points.  :(

After boot users using the same methodology to finish adding partitions to fstab would have the same problem.
