AFAIK partman does not currently supports this. What about a
"(DANGEROUS!)" comment in the option description ?
That's a good idea. I used up all my free time working on other items
so didn't find an example syntax. Would it be
option ("Human description")
option "(Human Description)"
I did not understand what you meant until I saw your new commits in the
MR. As you may already have observed, adding descriptions in
mountoptions/btrfs does not work. The current logic in
partman-basicfilesystems/select_mountoptions considers each "word" in
mountoptions/* files as a separate option, so you cannot add
descriptions here.
Mount option descriptions should be added as
partman-basicfilesystems/text/<option> debconf templates, so that they
can be translated. FWIW, `noatime` and `nodiratime` already have
description templates.
