Have set up a new installation of opensuse 42.3 on a notebook

but i did not touch the Partitions-tabe. I do not want to toch this - since i guess that something can go wrong while doing so

well - after all - Opensuse 42.3 now is installed

But one question still remains [the same ]

is this partiton table a good one or not!?

What do you say!?

Hi
Why a /boot partition on sdb, since your utilizing UEFI booting? Looks like you have some funky legacy/csm boot since the boot flag is set on sdb1.

Your sdb3 is too small if your wanting snapshots, 40GB minimum.

You could use;
sdb1 size 260M vfat format type ef00 mount as /boot/efi
sdb2 size 40G btrfs format type 8300 mount as /
sdb3 size ?? xfs format type 8300 mount as /home
sdb4 size 1.5 times installed RAM format swap type 8200 mount as swap

Put swap at the end of disk.

Windows can use sda1 to boot, openSUSE can use sdb1 to boot from.

Good question. I am curious about the Fat16 format of the second boot partition. Is this normal or equivalent to vFat?
