Figure 6.2: Automatic Repair Mode
6.3 User-Defined Repair
The automatic repair explained in the preceding section performs all tests.
This is useful if the extent of the system damage is unknown. However,
if you already know what part of the system is affected, the range of the
applied tests can be narrowed. Choosing ‘User-Defined Repair’ shows a list
of test runs that are all marked for execution at first. The total range of tests
matches that of automatic repair. If you already know where no damage is
present, unmark the corresponding tests. Clicking ‘Continue’ then starts a
narrower test procedure that probably has a significantly shorter running
time.
Not all test groups are applicable individually. The analysis of the fstab en-
tries is always bound to an examination of the file systems, including ex-
isting swap partitions. YaST automatically satisfies such dependencies by
selecting the smallest number of necessary test runs.
