I have a number of machines that I “clone” with VMware from SP1 to SP2 and with SP1 the “partitioner” is faster, much faster. I have not tried this with physical machines yet. Has anybody else noticed this ?

Since the expert partitioner mainly uses external commands to
probe the system you can grep for "stopwatch" in
/var/log/YaST/y2log. Lines look like:

  [...] stopwatch 0.263198s for "/usr/sbin/parted  -s  '/dev/sda' unit cyl print unit s print"

Maybe some external command is very slow.

Kind Regards,
