Test: adding a hdd for backing up the server itself, "lack of usercomfort"
(PP1 German edition)
If you plugin a new harddisk which has no partitions on it, a requester is telling you that have to create a partition first by hand. A restart is suggested after generating the needed partition .
Well I don't have any problems with that, but WHS is supposed to be designed for "none-techies" … therefore a request:
If the harddrive has no partitions on it (and that's a normal situation if you buy a brand new drive) WHS should be smart enough to create the partition without useractivity and restart.
If you add a drive for increasing the WHS volume there is a complete automatism for setting up the drive. Why not add this comfort for a drive which will be used for backing up the server.
If a user needs to create it manualy this must be done via RDP and computeradministration (don't no the exact title I am working with the german version) and this a controversial behaviour against the propgated simpleness.
